Hi guys, when you all talk about eating half a cup of oats etc, are you on about porridge oats and do you just eat them as they are or with milk or anything?

fine cut porridge oats, i take a cup full x3 in my protein shake per day. just add to milk/water and then your protein powder, let it soak 5mins and then down the hatch, no need for blenders etc

Nah razor. What is referred to as porridge oats are like a stone ground or steel cut oat where as Quaker produces rolled oats. It's like having the work done for you so you don't have to powder your oats to throw in your shake.

ive noticed some varieties are finer than others, in any case if you can take the texture going down your throat then they all go down. i have noticed that with timed released blended proteins that the oats go softer much faster than with whey. with whey its like little bullets going down my neck that actually tickle and make me cough, nice all down my front lol

For eating I do prefer the steel cut oats over the rolled, but here in the states they run pricey compared to rolled oats. I think about 5-6x the price of Quaker oats.

I know steel cut oats are better for you than oatmeal...but I just hate the way they taste and they are more expensive.
Do they not spike your blood sugar as much as oatmeal and digest slower?

Right now this is part of my breakfest, lunch and a snack.
1/2 cup oats with water microwave 200min, add teaspon honey, small handfull of raw walnuts, add 1-2 tablespoon of all natural peanut butter...mix while still hot. In the morning I also add either a whole bannana, or a handful of blueberrys..............yum

That sounds pretty tasty man. For me I have gone against cultural norms and no longer sweeten mine. For breakfast I just had 1c oats with 2 slices fat free sharp cheddar melted in topped with a little hot sauce.

yuck........I cant stand fat free cheese...blah

**Dpyle** · 09-01-2012, 06:54 AM

Normally I can't either, but this one still maintains a decent cheddar flavor with only 1g of sugar per slice. I just had to find something to change the flavor up a bit.

1/2 cup oats cooked. to that i add
4 eggs, sunny side up, and
1/4 cup salsa

then i mix it up, and down the hatch. filling. very tasty

two hours later, i do it again.

every day.

once in a while, i'll run out of eggs. so instead, i'll add a little cinamon and some sweetener, and i'll grab a little left over meat out of the fridge, then i shag my ass down to the store and get some more eggs.......
