The deal with Oatmeal

[jaz75]

OK this is my first post in the diet section and I have been slowly evolving my diet to match a few that I have seen here. The question I have is about Oatmeal. Don't get me wrong I love oatmeal but what kinds are we talking about here? The individual packaged type or just plain ol' oats in a bucket type? Either one works for me I am just curious.

Cheers

The old fashioned ones in a bucket.
The instant packet kind is loaded with sugar. Sugar should be avoided when unnecessary.

Measure it dry (1/2 Cup = 150cals, 27g carbs)

steel cut oats are best, but regular old oats are alot cheaper and still a solid choice

You can also get individual packages of PLAIN oatmeal...thats what I do.. and just eat it dry with some skim milk to wash it down
