Calories per serving are low. I wouldn't say 144 calories constitutes an adequate breakfast, not leats for active people. I wouldn't even count 2 servings as that fantastic. 2.5 servings perhaps which is 361.5 calories.

Plus the Carbs are 13.2, Sugars 8.5, Fibre, 2.3. So that's 10.8g stated Carbs, but 2.4 unnacounted for. Now unless they're complex ones like Cellulose or Hemi-cellulose for example and they don't want to confuse the buyer, then perhaps there's something in there they don't want you to know about.

That's only a supposition though, not a blatent accusation.

I would be concerned at the caloric intake though, as consuming as much as I said from a 300g box, you'd be using 75g per meal, so you'd get 4 portions from a box, which in mind, even for £3.25 is not good value.

You could buy something like Weetabix, consume 2 for Breakfast with a bit of Milk and mix a teaspoon of powdered Flax on it. You'd get Beta-glucan, Iron, B VItamins, Copper, Omega Fats, Calcium and Fat soluable, D, E, A and K Vitamins as well, possibly Magnesium.

I think that's pretty nutrient rich and the Barley content contains an antioxident called Apigenin.

Buy a big 48 box one and consume 2 at a time, plus some Carbs in the Milk and Flax and you'll be fine. Protein wise, potentially more than 1 serve of the other stuff. Around 5g theres is, but you'd be getting around 4g from the Cereal and some more from the Flax.

You could easily add some more in there, with a few Egg Whites and a Yolk or a bit of Chicken or Turkey or Ham.

If you used Soya Milk, you'd also be consuming Genestein, an Antioxident useful for protecting against excess Oestrogen problems, which includes Breast Cancer, Gynocomastia and Blood Clots, so I believe.

It's a fairly decent product, but the portion size is too poor, caloric wise, so when you eat a better amount of calories having it, it's used up pretty darn fast, which isn't value for money.

I'd say nice idea, but on price per gram, disspointing execution.
