Oatmeal sucks! But theres a solution...

[The_first_athlete]

Oatmeal is nasty right?

Well, the other day I tried Quaker's Oatmeal Squares cereal. Its basically oatmeal but flavored and not nearly as nasty as gooey wet oat. Theyre crunchy ok tasting squares

Well unfortunately those bad boys are loaded with sugar (high fructose corn syrup!) - not really an acceptable substitute for plain old oats!!

Yup. Plus, they are hella processed. Not acceptable for a clean diet or even a healthy diet, IMO.

If you don't like Oatmeal, try Cream of Wheat. Or add raw oats to your protein shake and blend. Or mix raw oats, protein powder and egg whites and make a protein pancake.

Yeah there is sugar in it. I like oatmeal.

I just down my oatmeal. Raw, swish with water, swallow. I'm doing it for nutritional value. If I want something to taste good, I'll go to Taco Bell and get loaded with all grade F meat and disgusting, greasy foods.

I mlove oatmeal and miss it dearly, I am cutting right now and just cant take any in. Id always eat mine uncooked with some cinnamon and splenda in in out of a cup and chew it up real good it tastes ausome. Four more weeks. lol

 

[Clean]

yeh if i made oatmeal and i needed it to taste sweet, i would put a splenda or 2 in the water and pur it on the oatmeal.

I mix 2/3 c. raw oats with 1/4 c. Fiber One cereal and water and microwave it, then when it's hot I put about 1/4 c. sugar free maple syrup in there for flavor. That's my breakfast every morning...I'm keeping carbs sorta low (<150 grams) and that meal accounts for about 50 g of (slow-digesting) carbs first thing in the morning (270 cals, 48 g carbs, 8 g protein). And I love oatmeal as long as there is SOME flavor...doesn't have to be much, but those plain raw oats are pretty tough to down!

Man, I really hope this isn't a dumb question, but here goes: What is so bad about rasins? I eat my oats every day with two of the little 14g snack boxes dumped in.

It does add a little bit of sugar, but it makes it a hell of a lot more palatable.

Fructose.

G.I. is off the charts.................

 

[The_first_athlete]

Oh I see.. hehe. Oh well, i bet its still probably the best or (least worst) breakfast cereal out there.

I dont consider myself to be as devoted to 100% strictness but I do try, thats why I only buy Raisin Bran, Frosted Mini Wheats and Quaker SQ's.

Keep it up bro's

 

[AminoJones]

I like oatmeal, I use fruit for taste
