Oats in PWO?

[mittmittmitt]

I have recently been soaking rolled oats over night to throw in my breakfast or pre workout shake, I have read that some disagree with the use of them in PWO.

Opinions?

Why would anyone disagree with oats for PWO??

PWO as in directly after or like 45min to 1 hour after first real meal?? Personally, PWO and I mean directly after, I like to take in some simple carbs and a protein shake) to replenish my body as soon as possible. Then I follow that up with a real meal about 45 minutes to an hour later (Complex carbs like oats and usually some chicken)

Nothing wrong with oats PWO, immediately or any other time of day for that matter. But soaking em' first? Eww! I use oats PWO every day and just chew em up raw right in my PWO shake. To each his own though!

Yep, I use 100g PWO in my shake...

I use oats in all my shakes. I don't soak them though. just grind em up, add the protein powder, then I add pasteurized egg whites, natty peanut butter, a banana, and some ice cubes, and you have a well balanced delicious real food shake. Sometimes I swap frozen blueberry's or raspberry's for the banana.

1 cup of grinded up oats in my pwo shake consisting of 2 scoops whey, creatine, and beta alanine. I often have half a banana with this shake on my large muscle group days (back and legs).

I always throw a cup full in my PWO shake, I don't soak them though- they seem to turn soft within a minute in the liquid.

I often add a banana and oats to my shakes.

Somt like simple carbs PWO. Some very good bodybuilders and nutrionist's advise simple carbs PWO as well.

I dont think thats wrong, there are many ways to skin a cat... Some like whey, others like a mixture or protein and some like BCAA's. Do whatever suits.

I have to agree...

I personally think you cant do much wrong in this game... As long as your daily macros are about right your not going to go far wrong

Consistency and dedication are what take you places....

Well, soaking oats over night allows for the enzyme lactobacilli and other enzymes to be relaesed here's a quote I recently read.

All grains contain phytic acid (an organic acid in which phosphorous is bound) in the outer layer or bran. Untreated phytic acid can combine with calcium, magnesium, copper, iron especially zinc in the intestinal track and block their absorption. This is why a diet high in unfermented whole grains may led to serious mineral deficiencies and bone loss. The modern misguided practice of consuming large amounts of unprocessed bran often improves colon transit time at first but may lead to irritable bowel syndrome and, in the long term, many other adverse effects. Soaking allows enzyme, lactobacilli and other helpful organisms to break down and neutralize phytic acid. As little as seven hours of soaking in warm acidulated water will neutralize a large portion of phytic acid in grains. The simple practice of soaking cracked or rolled cereal grains overnight will vastly improve their nutritional benefits.

So there ya go. Soak em.
