Oats vs Kashi Go Lean

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

Lets say, McCann Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal since instant oats suck
and Kashi Go Lean.

Which would be a better pick?

Go Lean has more protein and fiber. But Oatmeal is one of the healthiest things to eat.
What about the GI of the 2?


Or, incorporating both into a diet....

Feedback/thoughts on these 2...

Thanks.

[abbot138]

Holy! I might have to consider making a switch.

You might be looking at the Crunch.

My regular Go Lean, has 6 grams. Thats about the only downside, if you call it that.

the thing i have to ask is if your having it w/ milk? that would exponentially screw up the comparison with the lactose in the milk. I personaly love kashi go lean it is a great proiduct, they have a very good prouct line in general but that is a fantastic cereal, i feed it to my 2 year old and he lioves it, makes me feel good about it. it tends to be very rough, so I have his sit in milk for a little while to soften it up. But how would you eat it? if with milke, it turns it into an unwanted sugar fest that is unnesasary when/if your cutting

[abbot138]

^^^^Good point. I def wouldnt eat it during cutting. But then again, I barley eat oats either when Im cutting. But for bulking I'm definately gonna give it a go.....BigSexxy the sugar number I came up with was from the USDA site, about 3.5oz serving(100 grams).

I eat mine dry.

Usually put a cup or so in a baggy, and take it on the go.

Go Lean:
Serving Size 1 cup (52 grams)

and that has 6 grams sugar.

Go Lean Crunch:
Serving Size 1 cup (53 grams)

and thats 13 grams sugar.


I guess the site your looking at is double serving sizes. I personally just use 1 cup of Go Lean.

Hey can I post a question in here about diet or open a new thread?

If its pertaining to oats and/or kashi go lean, sure.

If not, start up a new one.

That would explain the discrepancy regardless, im eating em during my next bulk.

I wouldn't see a problem. variety is nice!

The Kashi tastes better, but buying steel cut oats in bulk is way cheaper. I eat both, but buy much more of the oats.

[IamtheChitt]

I like Kashi cereals, my girlfriend bought some the other day. The
honey toasted oats." It has 5 grams of sugar, but it sure beats the blandness of oats.
