LOL...proudly display the maple leaf and end this confusion.

CostCo has locations in Canada. In addition to allowing "normal" people to stock up on 10-pound containers of pork rinds, they have a ton of stuff (meat, veggies, oats, even whey) of interest to lifters. If there's one in your area, I'd definitely recommend getting a membership.

Wow, a whole page about oats. Do you workout anymore? LoL

 

[anotherbutters]

lol PB.

Oats with milk. Simmer in a pan for 2 mins along with some raisins, almonds and honey for great porridge. Or add to one of Jim's milk, whey, ANPB and banana shakes. Or add them to your PWO shake.

I guess I think like Tweakle - they're a great source of complex carbs and convenient, so I eat them.

Yep Costco is great - we buy our milk, oats, meat and frozen veggies there. I tried their whey once but it tasted funny to me, kind of metallic for lack of a better word.

The canadian flag should be there now...

I never thought of cosco, I used to ahve a membership there, maybe I'll go check it out and look for oats etc.

Na, I think I'll dedicate the rest of this journal to how much I hate oats, lol.

You'll eventually learn to like the oats. And, 29 is still young, but for some reason i thought you were in your early-20's, lol here I am talking to you like a younger brother and you're a couple years older than me.....I don't know why I thought you were like 21 or 22, maybe it was the ongoing war you had with Ilovetolift, lol.

That's cool, I may be 29 (or will be on the 30th) but I never claimed to be mature.

And ya, that thing with Ilovetolift was pretty immature of me, but I had fun and it killed time at work. maybe some day I will grow up.

As per your recomendations I have added to my breakfast and it now looks like this.

Breakfast 8:30-9:30
1 glass skim milk
1 hard boiled egg
2 hard boiled eggs whites only
1 serving oat bran cerial
1 slice of 100% whole wheat toast
1 apple
1 tablespoon honey to amke the oats go down.

According to fitday =
540 cals
10g fat
86g carbs
30g protien

Is that a bettter breakfast?

I will keep meal 2 the same and though it was recommended to add anotehr carb to lunch I will try to leave it as it for now as I don't want t feel bloated afterwords.

Still not sure about meal 4, I was thinking about maybe adding the brown rice there? So it would be

1/3 cup almonds
1/3 cup oats
1 serving brown rice

Not sure if the oats and brown rice are god to have together in one meal though?

Then an apple or somthing 30min before my workout?

Thats a little better....However, I would seriously consider in the neighborhood of 6-8 whites plus the one whole egg (or even 2).....and switch to plain oats, you'll thank yourself later......unless you want fuel for a marathn workout, just man up and bag the honey, oats are good, lol.

Why so many eggs? That sould b roughly 40g of protien and 600 cals (total) if I were to eat 5 egg whites and 1 whole egg. Isn't that a little too much for "cutting"?

Also, why do you suggest the whole oats instead of the oat bran cerial? I think I like the Whole oats better anyway so I could easily switch. But the honey has to stay for now as that's the only way they're going down.
