In my view, oatmeal is one of the best sources of carbs. Now if you're trying to bulk up, you can surely eat oatmeal 3 times a day. But, if your goal is to diet down, I reccomend keeping the oatmeal in the mornings only.
And yes, oatmeal is a great carb and tastes good too

When I'm bulking I eat a ton of oatmeal all day long. Its a very slow burning carb which is exactly what we want.

Stay away from the instant oatmeal!!!
Get yourself a slow cooking oatmeal and put some fresh strawberries or black berries or chop some apples and raisins or a few slices of banana(not too many) high in sugar, and trust me it tastes amazing.

If you use instant oatmeal because it's quick, try Quaker Quick Oats. It has no added sugar and it cooks with just hot water like the instant kind. I add raisins to mine 
If we need carbs for energy during a workout and we need the simple carbs for post workout what is wrong with the instant with suger added?
I have been eating one packet of oatmeal with a scoop of protein about 1.5 hrs. before workout and the same post workout. This gives me two meals with about 30gr. of carbs and 30gr. of protein. Is this not a good idea?
Also would mixing 5gr. of createin monohydrate with the post workout suger infested, protein enriched oatmeal be good for createin absorption?

Rockaho, I can't answer your question specifically but I do not see a problem with it. I add about a table spoon of brown sugar to my oatmeal anyway because I like the taste but I don't like it too sweet. That's why I don't buy the flavored kind. If you're adding protein to it, i think it's a great meal to eat before you work out.

Oatmeal is a great source of clean burning carbs as well as fiber. As for the instant stuff, get rid of it... Regular Quaker Oatmeal (for those who know what I'm talking about) takes 2-3 mins in a microwave.
