Someone remind me....why is oatmeal in everyone's breakfast menu ??

It's just high carbs (energy), w/ no fat..is that it ?

I don't have anything against oatmeal, just wondering why it seems to be more popular (or appropriate) than other breakfast choices.

Don't be fooled. There's fat in oatmeal.

I eat barley for breakfast myself, but oatmeal's great. I'll let others tell you why. I'm sure you could do a search on these forums for oatmeal and find the info. It's been asked lots of times.

You'd be hard pressed to find a cleaner complex carbohydrate for breakfast with the nutrition value of oatmeal.

Plus its dirt cheap.

Oatmeal is also one of the most satisfying clean foods. I often have to remind myself to eat my 2nd meal of the day because I'm so filled up by my morning bowl of oatmeal (60g).

I have Kashi cerel for breakfast and oatmeal with protein powder for 2 snacks. Oatmeal=clean carbs (low GI), essential fats, and a good taste.
And, of course, its cheap as it was already said.

My personal opinion with Oatmeal is that I will feel full longer than say eating an 'egg white omlete' or some other breakfast.

Also, like others have said, low GI, cheap, good.

For me, it's just so dang tastey. I could eat the stuff at every meal! :tu: :eat: :drool:

I didn't know you could search the site (I guess I never looked)

Well, I do now.

Thanks. I've been wastin' alot of time. :o
