Let's start with the numbers, because that's how this site judges food. Per 100g, Cereals, Oats, Regular and Quick, not Fortifi has 13.2g protein, 6.5g fat, and a saturated share of 17.1% — Recommended. Millet, Puffed has 13.0g protein, 3.4g fat, and 19.7% saturated — Recommended.
Saturated fat matters here because it's the fat that most directly raises liver triglycerides, which is exactly why the 2023 clinical guidance from AASLD tells people with fatty liver to keep it low and favor unsaturated sources.
Beyond the fat profile, the same two checks apply to both: added sugar (a hard veto in our evaluation logic) and processing level (deep processing triggers an automatic downgrade). Neither is a judgment call — they're rules.
The Mediterranean framework the guidelines recommend is the context both foods live in: olive oil as the primary fat, fish and lean protein in rotation, whole grains, and half the plate in vegetables.
Both are workable inside a Mediterranean pattern when portions are controlled. If you eat either one regularly, pair it with vegetables and keep the serving in the range our food pages recommend for its category.

The primary criteria are: (1) low saturated fat as a percentage of total fat, (2) no added sugars, (3) minimal processing, and (4) whole food carbohydrates instead of refined. The AASLD 2023 guidelines also emphasize the in practice dietary pattern over single nutrients or individual foods.
How does the Mediterranean diet help with fatty liver?
The Mediterranean diet reduces liver fat through multiple mechanisms: unsaturated fats improve insulin sensitivity, fiber from vegetables and whole grains slows carbohydrate absorption, polyphenols from olive oil and vegetables reduce liver inflammation, and omega-3 fatty acids from fish directly lower liver triglycerides. Studies show it can reduce liver fat even without weight loss.
