how important is oatmeal ?

[Kaboom]

Its not "important" but it sure is a good breakfast combined with a protein shake.Almost the perfect breakfast.It is great carbs and keeps you full.

[RAGEN2008]

Oatmeal is one of my breakfast favorites, I have a cup of oatmeal, couple pieces of toast and some hard boiled eggs with a glass of milk or juice and it seems pretty easy on the stomach and fills me up good.

[Juiced2008]

I eat my oatmeal every morning without fail. Also I add a protein shake, 1 glass of Orange Juice and One cup of Gatorade.
Works for me.

I will sometimes add 2 eggs hardboiled when i have time.

Oatmeal has those great carbs you're looking for in the morning and it completes a great morning meal so you can get that spike of insulin in the morning and have energy to start the day

[Juiced2008]

Kaboom I am in Greensboro, NC.

[XTRMMUSCLEMASS]

Its cheap and it contains complex carbs which dont cause an insuline spike, it keeps your insulin high for a couple hours as it digest slower, (Opposite of white bread, white rice). I get it in my morning to start my day along with egg whites, whole eggs, and fruits.

It can be taken during the day also, it doesnt have to be in your breakfast. I also take it as a pre work out 1.5 hrs b4 training.

[Liquidyolk]

get the oats and whizz em up in a blender, then add 30-70g to your shake pre-workout ^^

[rdobson]

I eat some every morning also. Sometimes I have to force it down cause it tastes liek cardboard...and sometimes it does come back up but oh well I think its essential to your morning

just don't eat it with milk like cerial....yuck!!!

[Kaboom]

Man its great with skim milk and some sweetnlow

[Luscious Lou]

Oatmeal, taste great by itself add a little milk and cinnamon is good, also when making put a dash of salt.

wow man I got force down a half a cup every morning...your metabolism must be very high

[Moro]

Yea in my opinion oatmeal is as important as thumbs you have to have it/them because nobody wants (brown) rice first thing in the morning

[Shortstuff]

Had it for breakfast this morning for the first time after reaping the knowledge from this site and wow! Never realised how well it fills you up! Coupled it with some boiled egg whites and fruit, brilliant!

[itcanbetrue]

hi, someone can tell me how many grams has a cup?

[Blitzkrieg]

It depends what you have in the cup. A cup is a measure of volume, but a gram is a measure of mass.

Depending on the density of the material you are going to have in the cup, the weight in grams of the material will vary.
