I recently read an article in a health mag and it recommended adding some oats to protein shakes. Actually wasn't bad.

i grind up 40 grams of oats in a coffee grinder to mix with 24 grams of milk/egg protein powder in 12 ounces of water each day

To make rolled oats a tasty breakfast I simply add a scoop of protein powder. Banana cream Low-Carb GR...I mean...Metabolic Drive is my current favorite.

Berardi's article covers everything you would ever want to know about oats. If anyone has not spent time on his site reading everything he has to say then you are truly missing out. The complicated world of macronutrients, nutrient timing, and all things health-nutrition related is covered in terms anyone can understand.

I apologize for the thread hijack but I just can't say enough about man's knowledge on the subject. It's all free so newbies read read read. I promise you won't regret it.

Try Arrowhead Mills Steel Cut Oats. Has 8g of Fiber per 1/4 cup. The best of the oatmeal group.

for breakfast - with vanilla protein powder and Udo's oil. Sometimes I add some banana or a sprinkling of All Bran. I use the quick cooking kind and it only takes a minute or so to make this in the microwave so I have no excuses for skipping my first meal.

doesnt oat also have quite alot of protein? i think the thing im using has 15g of protein per 100g. unless im mistaking oat for something else. its a grain thing right? suppose to be the healthiest grain out there?

thats about right. i eat 80 grams in the morning and that gives 10 grams of protein.

I go for 2cups of oats, but with half the milk so its not so runny.
add some honey and rasins.

Is oatmeal the same as porridge oats?

Yeah Bryn, These Yanks just try confusing us the whole time.

The bigger the oats the better, Try scottish rolled oats.

Oats are cheap anyway so its worth getting the "taste the diffrence" , "tesco finest" or whatever its is where you shop.

i found some Strawberry Flavoured Oats....what do people think of these things..are they as nutritionaly benefitial as regualar rolled oats.

Read the packet.

Or was it covered in spiders!!!!!

covered in spiders and snakes and sharks...but i guess i could read it..but it was at a junk shop so i may have to go to the supermarket to find them...i think they were just passed there used by date or something that is why they were in the junk shop. Because they were a well respected aussie brand.
