Ready Breks easier to eat because there is less in it than whole oats.

Per 100gr, ready brek has:

10gr less carbs
6gr less protein
4gr less fibre
3gr more fat
3gr more simple sugar
2mg less sodium
26 less kcalories

Only small differences individually, but cumulatively they change the nutritional profile substantially in my opinion, especially when you're consuming a few hundred grams a day.

To get the same calories, fibre, carbs, and protein you'd have to eat more ready brek than oats anyway. You'd also be lumbered with more fat and sugar.

Better off with whole oats, whole milk and a little honey I reckon, just get it down. If it's too hard to eat, blend it and glug it down.

porridge oats mixed with milk and whey protein, tasted like s**t but once you train your gag reflex a bit (hahaha) you can just drink the stuff and its gone in about 5 seconds
