| | I just realized that I am only eating 5 times a day.
Anyways, I can't really eat and do that egg white to egg yolk ration, such as you do, because I really DISPISE wasting food, and I seem to be the only one who eat eggs... -_-''
I also can't tell my mother what to buy, and make everyday. I always however, try to urge her into buying fish, which has about 17g of protein for 1 fillet, at 80 calories a fillet.
Anyways, I'll keep trying to get the most protein a day... |

| | | It's understandable that you can't get all the specific foods when your still living at home. Just eat the best you can and work out hard, you got your whole life ahead of you. |

i eat seven or eight times a day- always with quality protein, carbs and fat (fish pills if nothing else) you are not alone and yes you are doing somthing wonderful that you should keep up with.
As a hard gainer and a poor person the best I tend to eat eggs whole but if you really want to eat just whites tell yourself exactly how much eggs cost and then remind your self how much liposuction and heart surgery cost. |

| | Alright. I FINALLY finished those instant oatmeal puches. I wanted to speed it up by eating two puches together each breakfast the past two days.
Anyways, I told my mother to buy that OLD FASHIONED oatmeal, but she said that is wasn't available in the 2 stores she went to. Instead she bought this;
Is this stuff any good? |

| | | Hard to say. I have a bunch of it at home for when I run out of the real stuff (those look so much like real oatmeal) I can never choke much of it down. It is the worst texture in the food kingdom. I have been told that it loses a bunch of its nutrition but is still quite good for you. I want to say eat it anyways so she will get you the real stuff next time but that is sooo gross. If I were the evil guy on saw I think I would make my victims eat 1 min oatmeal.
Your move brother |

| | | Wow. This is the worst oatmeal I have ever tasted. And I only ate 2 different types. But honestly, from every day on, I am going to HATE waking up to this carp. -_-'' I put strawberries, and cinnamon in this thing, and it was STILL horrible. JEEZ! >_<'' |

| | I eat the same stuff... well it comes in a cylinder. It is good stuff. Same nutrition facts as steel cut oats (which are less processed than the regular old fashioned oats even). My understanding was that the 1 minute oats were just rolled a bit flatter/cut smaller than the old fashioned oats which allows for faster cooking.
If your comparing the taste of these to the instant oatmeal... then they are always going to loose. But realize that these are actually healthy for you
I always like to add raisins (not as good for you as other fruit though) to it and then less than .5oz milk or so (to cool it off faster) |

Healthy? If it is, heck, I guess I'd have to suck it up and tell my mother to buy this splenda to add to it. Splenda is okay right? |

| | Check out the ingredients on the bag. It should just be one.... rolled oats. This means that its basically food from nature. Clean and unmessed with by humans.
The instant stuff is so bad because it is oats, plus refined man made sugar, man made chemicals, man made etc.... lots of fake stuff your body doesnt need.
Yeah, so you should experiment with what you like to put in oatmeal. You have a lot of options. Splenda is good in that it is no/low calorie (I forget which) and it still tastes pretty good. It is still man made though. If you look on the internet there will be people telling you not to eat it for various reasons. But its not like having any is going to kill you. So go ahead and try it out... just dont pour the whole box on your oats |

Anyways, 1 pouch of splenda per serving of the oatmeal should be fine, no? |

| | | I'm not sure how big one pouch of splenda is. So I cant help with that. Is the oatmeal getting any better after a few days? I always found it to be pretty good. Some of it might have to do with getting better at cooking it. I always feel great after a breakfast of oats, fruit, and eggs though! |

| | | Yes, I actually bought splenda, and adding one pouch of it actually makes it BEARABLE to it. Still not good, but for something nutritious, it should do.
Anyways, my mother again bought a whole lot of cereal and the instant pouched oatmeal. I have to finish it again first. I told her though to NEVER buy it or that I will run away from home.
She won't. |  | | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
