Good for you? Bad? How Many? With milk? Without even?

IMHO... Good. Very very good actually. Low in salt, low in fat, high in fibre... How many depends on your size! (kind of... my 3 year old eats 2 for breakfast, my brothers when teenagers could eat half a box lol). Heart foundation recommends to eat with trim milk. Personally I think ok without milk (used to smear a bit of marmite and butter on them when I was a kid and eat as a snack) but I believe that too many without fluid could lead to problems in the gut. So if you don't like soggy weeties, perhaps a cup of tea or a glass of milk around the time of eating?

If you don't have milk as well as weetbix, some other protein source for the same meal would be a good idea. A yoghurt perhaps?

How many per day is a good amount

How many Weetbix you mean? Depends on your age, body weight and what else you eat during the day, I guess. For an adult woman, 2 for breakfast w some milk, not sure otherwise.

My kids are all weetbix kidsthey have them all different ways - hot water brown sugarand milk , crushed with cold milk and sugar , split in half and buttered , my middle son has a coffee for breakfast and just dunks his plain weetbix in it (yuk) everyday ! To answer your Q i think you can eat as many as it takes to fill you weetbix are good foryou full of fibre low salt, low fat content.

Dentists recomend you eat them due to the small amount of sugar in them.
My daughters doctors recomends them for her to keep her regular.

Depands on your goals, If you want to be in the foward pack of the all blacks i suggest you eat as many as you can with plenty of sugar on top to boot good luck.

For breakfast I have two weetbix with clover honey on top and very slightly warmed milk or for a change yoghurt on top with less slightly warmed milk. Yummy...
