Is oatmeal a good breakfast?

[thrashersfan123]

I usually mix about 3/4 a cup with water and mix in a chopped apple. Just wondering whether this is good or not. Thanks!

[Blueta]

yes its good

I'd add a protein source with it such as eggs or a whey shake.

Oatmeal is great. In fact, you aren't living until you put a couple packets of splenda and some vanilla extract in there.

A protein shake and oatmeal in the morning keeps me satisfied for like 8 hours with no hunger, so I'm happy

oatmeal is one of my favorite foods. It fills me up and it is convenient. I usually add it to my pre and post workout shakes since I workout in the morning before work.

Oats are great, I eat it every single morning, raw =)

Steel cut oats for me every day!! Much better than rolled!!

[jasonguo]

Yup, try muesli too. I eat muesli (rolled oats, dried apples, raisans, almonds, pine nuts) plus cinnamon and 1 whole egg + 5 egg whites every morning.

1/2 cup Oatmeal + ON chocolate whey + 1tbsp dark cocoa powder = heaven for me

Yes it's a great breakfast.....even better with 1-2 scoops of whey....either in it, or on the side in a shake.

Dry oats with skimmed milk and blueberries every morning LOVE IT.

I'd switch to Steel Cut Oats if you can, but oatmeal is fine. I eat steel cuts + protein shake 90% of the time for breakfast (gotta rush out the house mostly)

A bowl of oatmeal and a protein shake is my breakfast every morning.

Handfull of oats added to my PhD choc cooky whey + bannana = mega energy for the day

I usually don't bother with oats any more during breakfast ... I only eat three egg whites since I get enough carbs from my dinner the night before, and that seems to be working for me ... I've even cut out my protein shake during my heavy cardio week(s) now since I don't need them as I'm not doing a whole lot of heavy lifts

Feels pretty good so far, though I'm going back on my shakes as soon as I've made the bump down to 220 pounds
