Oatmeal - the wonder breakfast meal

I think oatmeal has almost no protein. But it’s a great carbohydrate.

Are you sure that study subjects were people and not horses? Those “guys” really like oat meals, and eat them from birth.

Horses lol. They eat oats, and their all pretty hung.

This thread did get me to the store to buy some. It is not high in protein, but it does contain a good amount. It is high in allot of other key nutrients, that are great for every ones health. I’m going to start eating much more of it.

I swear by porridge for general health.

You are right about that, unless you decide to add some ham chunks or something.

Morning is a good time to start with a meal heavier in carbs. I add skim milk and almonds for protein.

So that's why he’s smiling! Certainly isn’t the taste of the oats.

I usually eat my oatmeal in a bowl carved from a steak. The best part is, you can eat the bowl!

So of course my oatmeal is high in protein.

If you don’t like steak in the morning, consider this nutritious breakfast:

Bowl of Hot Oatmeal
Peanut Butter on Raisin-Bread toast
Banana with some grapes
Small Glass of Orange Juice
Glass of V-8
Cup of Green Tea

Furthermore some supplements taken with or after breakfast:

Vitamin C
Vitamin B-100 complex
Centrum Forte Multivitamin
Gingko Biloba
Tribulus Terrestris
Bee Pollen Granules

You should have a quick workout before breakfast if you can.
At boot camp we’d do an hour of PT, usually running or other exercises, from 0500 to 0600, rest for half an hour and then have breakfast.

The PT burns off any excess crap you have in your system from last night, and wakes up the metabolism.
It really helps.

If you like, you can mix the banana into the oatmeal - I would usually mix raisins in, but bananas in oatmeal are mm mm good.

Breakfast is easily the most important meal of the day - Have fun planning a breakfast that’s both easy to make, and nutritious!

The taste and texture of oatmeal sickens me bulemic.

I know that it’s good for you, but I prefer a couple egg whites and a piece of brown toast :shrug:

Hmmm…maybe I should wrap my protein bar in oatmeal for breakfast. Stuffing one into my pants might increase my size, too.

Borat, you can google this, but I’m not sure if you’ll find it. But my parents take something called LifeForce. They said that Centrum, had a study conducted on it, and the study found that when someone took a Centrum pill, it didn’t absorb at all into the body, coming out in the feces.

That pill is doing you nothing!

Lifef(F?)orce has 25% of whatever for each pill, you take 4 pills a day, I think that’s kind of weak and they don’t want to “overdose”, but you don’t want to take a pill with too much because you gain nutrients from other foods as well.

Lol. Everyone is buying oatmeal with the excuse that it is healthy lol.

Since you are making the claim that centrum vitamins do nothing, it would be normal protocol on this forum for you to do the googling and provide the link.

lol. Oatmeal is healthy. lol.

Quaker is the company name. Quaker makes quick oats and regular oats. Quick oats have been processed to hydrate/cook faster.

The regular oats take longer to hydrate/cook and a little longer for your stomach to digest.

About 80% of the oatmeal is fiber, both soluble and insoluble fiber.

One of the tricks a person can use to increase the nutrient density of oat meal is to add a bit of whey protein - the kind that is rich in branched-chain aminos. And, if you are concerned about glycemic index, add a good bit of cinammon. Use a bit of stevia to sweeten the taste, if desired. Chopped almonds or pecans are good to add to the mix too. This combination gives a slow, uniform release of glucose and the added protein will give you a full, happy feeling.

Cheers,

Quaker is the company that makes the oats I eat.
I didn’t mention it before because I didn’t know if they were sold outside of Canada.

Get the Quaker Instant Oatmeal - My favourite is Peaches and Cream.
