CRAP! It's been posted here about 30,000 times but INSTANT OATMEAL is NOT real food.
Buy only 100% whole grain oats and add your own flavoring.I was thirsty for everything, blood wasn't my style.

It's not that it isn't real food, it just contains more simple sugars than the regular oatmeals.

i would not go as far as saying instant oats are not real food. the problem is the added sugar. but if you are in a bulk or a maintenance stage of dieting, i see no real problem with it. it still beats pancakes or sugary cereals, because you are getting complex carbs which can give you a good energy boost. some morning i will add a half cup of plain oats to my package of cinnamon roll quaker instant oats, and then have a protein shake, this always give me a great energy boost during workouts. in my honest opinion being super strict on your dieting is a bit obsessive. and most importantly just make adjustments in your daily dieting if you do have flavored oats.

i can deal with the crappy oatmeal its just when you go after my penut better I lose it
for flavering oatmeal, try this
add a few packets of splenda calorie free sweetiner
add some cinnimon
mix well, then i add a touch of skim milk or some suger free syrup (10 calories)......it really is pretty tasty I can live with it, I mean its no wendys spicy chicken sandwich but in 10 minutes you will forget whatever you ate anyway

You are correct. Quaker State 'oatmeal' contains no sugar. It's a motor oilOriginally posted by sejoon!

Quaker oatmeal (or generic brand) are GREAT choices

Back to the topic, The "regular" oatmeal in the packets is a BETTER choice because it doesn't have as much sugar, but it's still higher on the glycemic index because it's more finely ground. Buy your oatmeal by the tub. It's just as easy... microwave it, and it's so much better for you. Do a search because there are a million posts on ways to flavor the oatmeal and make it taste great!
Packet oatmeal is acceptable for post-workout. Not the best choice, but acceptable.I was thirsty for everything, blood wasn't my style.

Find a health food store and buy some Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (nothing else in the ingredients). $0.49 a pound at Henry’s.
Go to the grocery store and buy:
This surup, or something just as good.
Cinnamon.
Non-Fat Milk.
It will be just as good if not better than that processed, sugary crap.It's better to be cynical than naive.
