I've searched the threads, but really didnt find a straight forward answer. When to eat oatmeal and WHY? I know its low-calorie and medium-carbs. Is it good for post-workout? For bulking? It seems to me that its pretty "light" but will fill you up, hence more of a "diet" food. Thanks fellas!

also, it can be used for bulking or cutting but just in different proportions to meet your calorie needs at the time.

I use it more so for bulking. For cutting only have it in the earlier part of the day.
The main benefit of oatmeal verses many other carbohydrates is it has a low GI. And of course it is cheap.
