Here’s a link to the site which contains the relevant nutritional information:

I add a scoop of whey protein(35gms protein) to it for breakfast.
n.b. I’ve cut out all grains from my diet, so I need a good energy source in the mornings. Regular oats make me feel sick by the way.
Thanks Shire.

Okay i just realised i’m being anally retentive haha.
If you are gonna have a cereal type thing in the morning then stick to Fiber 1. It has the same amount of carbs only 14 grams of those carbs are Fiber to Oatibix 3.5 grams of fiber. Fiber has 0 cals whereas other carbs have 4 cals/gram because fiber can’t be broken down. If you need a cereal product stick to fiber one.
Looks good, but are oats not grains?
The oat (Avena sativa), sometimes called the common oat, is a species of cereal grain grown for its seed, which is known by the same name (usually in the plural, unlike other cereals and pseudocereals). While oats are suitable for human consumption as oatmeal and rolled oats, one of the most common uses is as livestock feed. Oats are a nutrient-rich food associated with lower blood cholesterol when consumed regularly.
Avenins present in oats (proteins similar to gliadin from wheat) can trigger...
