oatmeal

this is good

Do this, you will like it.

With your Oatmeal add 1/4 of grape nuts and mix it up,
it makes the texture all better.

Adding protein in addition is good but wait until the oatmeal expands.

no bake cookie

add just enough water to wet oatmeal, mix in chocolate whey protein, and natural p-nut butter. Sit it in fridge overnight. Play with the amount of water for your taste preference. I like mine really thick. I use 1 cup old fashioned oats, 2 srv. EAS Simply Whey, and a tbsp. crunchy p-nut butter. 630 quality calories.

When you microwave whey protein you stand a good possibility of denaturing the protein.

I'm with the people above who recommend a scoop or two of protein powder mixed with oatmeal...

Throw in a packet of equal or other low-cal sweetner...yummy

Experiment with different flavors of whey powder - right now I use one scoop of Optimum chocolate and one scoop of Ultimate Prostar Whey BANANA - it tastes soooooooo damn good - I actually crave it like a cheat food....

One more thing - about the instant packages of oatmeal - they tend to taste "better" because they're loaded with simple sugars!! Watch out for that if it's an issue...

It tastes great with a little rasberry crystal light or similar product.

My oatmeal recipe...

I didn't notice any posting about purchasing the quick oats variety.

They are just as nutritious as normal oats except they are pre-chopped a bit and absorb water much faster.

My typically meals during the day consist of the following -

2 servings of oatmeal (50-55 carbs) 1 cup
2 servings of EAS Simply Whey (44 grams of protein)
1 medium sized banana.

The banana really adds a nice flavor. You will not even
notice the oatmeal other than the fast that your shake will
be VERY think. It's also a good idea to add many ice cubes
as well.

Seems to go down easier and tastes better when the mixture is very cold.

I was wondering about the nutritional value of oats. On the box it says 10.9 grams of protein, 9.2 grams of fats, and 66 grams of carbs, with a total of 359 grams per 100g. What does everyone think of the fat content of the oats?

Some really tasty sounding recipes on here, I think I will have to try them. I have hated oatment since I was a kid ...I know it is good for you, maybe these recipes will help me keep it down

Add about 1/3 of a banana (more if u want, but I only use 1/3...my daughter eats the rest!) that is diced up to the oatmeal before cooking it...then after its done ( from the microwave ) mix in one scoop of vanilla or banana pro. powder....this is really good.

add some Equal and some cinnamon to give it that sweet taste without extra calories. some fresh fruit would help too if u dont mind the extra bit of calories

Equal, some raisins (granny smith apple chunks are actually better for you), and flax oil. I even eat on my cheat day. Of course it sounds like you are using 1/2 cup of oatmeal, I need 11/2 to get me to the next meal. It's a lot of carbs at once but the flax oil helps slow digestion a bit to allow your body to use the energy you have consumed.
