I used to be big on oatmeal (ate it everyday - mixed with egg whites - for months), but I eventually got tired of it and reverted back to regular cereal and (skim) milk. I do see from a number of other threads that oats seem to be the clear winner with most members here, but I'm wondering if regular cereal (healthy kinds, that is) are really that much more inferior to oatmeal. I find I always have great energy for my morning workouts after a cup of some kind of low sugar, high fibre cereal (topped with All Bran for extra fibre, too), and that I have way more variety in terms of taste and texture with regular cereal as opposed to just oatmeal.
Anyone else?

I don't care about him in particular but saying stuff like that implies that people who choose to eat healthy or vegetarian or vegan have an ED. Maybe the kid is taking it too far and is misinformed, but as long as you get enough calories, I say let people eat what they want.

If i have time Ill eat Oatmeal, rarely do I not have 5 mins to make some oats but if im in a big rush Ill have whatever my bf buys. Hes the cold cereal guy. Hes not 100% healthy. He will buy Raisin Nut Bran, or Cheerios or something. I really prefer a hot bowl of oats, keeps me fuller a lot longer. When I eat cold cereal im hungry again in like an hour.

Sure (not much of a "recipe", though lol). Just basically replaced half the amount of water normally used with egg whites (and occasionally added a few tbsp of 2% milk for variety). Key difference for me, though, is that I just stuck with instant oatmeal (cuz I'm always running late and need everything as fast as possible), but it would work the same for regular oats.
But when you're boiling the water and egg whites together, you'll have to constantly be stirring it (otherwise the egg whites will just burn and stick to the bottom). Don't wait for it to be fully boiling before you add it, though; just keep stirring til it's steaming and kinda frothy/foggy in appearance, and it's ready!Last edited by pumped4life82; 01-03-2009 at 03:20 PM.

I eat healthy cold cereal for bfast after a long time eating oats. oats fill me up for a long time and I feel a little sluggish for a while. I have more energy with cold cereal.
it also depends on the amount of carbs you need either 70g carbs from cereal is going to be less filling than 70g carbs from oats.“You never won’t know what you can’t achieve until you don’t achieve it.”
