No liquid with that last mix?<br />
<br />
Had a cup of oats this morning mixed in with Mammoth supply yoghurt - tasted good and kept me full for ages. Too much sugar etc in that brand though so I'll be trying some of these other recipes.<br />
<br />
Soaking overnight just makes them softer?? -
[quote name='BartMan']no milk needed if you use protein powder, added calories for nothing!<br />
<br />
ah, 1 cup whole grain rolled oats, scoop protein powder, water, chopped up kiwi friut or banana.<br />
for variety qand extra protein - 3 egg whites blended and then mixed in to the above.<br />
<br />
tastes champion to me!![/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Never thought about doing it just with water. Will be the go from now on as I'm one of those that doesn't need the extra calories. -
Oats with 2 scoops of protein powder and skim milk. On weekends I also have 3 boiled eggs (remove yokes). <br />
<br />
Not recommended if you're in a rush and don't have time for... ahem bog time afterwards. -
I remember the firat time on this Oats kick and food guru didn't specify milk or water, and I assumed milk. For that month strangely enough I had no bf loss. Trainer was perplexed until we discovered I was using milk in oats! I think it was me saying, "I even use trim milk in my oats", and she was "milk, WHERE does it say to use MILK"!!<br />
<br />
Ooops.<br />
<br />
But if you were not using the protein powder, and not bodybuilding and counting every singe damn calorie, I am sure Trim milk would be fine!! -
Hmmm wonder if I should switch to water even in my current state? Reckon I am still a bit short in calories and thought those from milk would probably be better than from some other foods. Was even thinking of having a big glass of calci-trim milk pre bed to help meet the calories target
-
Prepared 1 cup of oats, 1 cup of trim milk and a bit of cinnamon last night. I don't have much of a sweet tooth but the first spoonful was a bit bland this morning so I added a sprinkle of brown sugar : )<br />
<br />
I'll pick up some fruit which will def help on the sweetness front. Raisins, banana, etc are all things I like to eat.<br />
<br />
Two days of oats for breakie and wow do they keep you full. <br />
<br />
Mates wedding is 10th March (I'm a groomsman) so that's a clear goal for my training and eating nice and clean. -
what are the best sweetener options?? JK only adds 15-20 raisins!! that doesn't seem like heaps!<br />
<br />
Actually having a proper, healthy breakfast is already putting me ahead lol. -
nah, just Ness got told off for eating a trail mix type thing, "do you know how much sugar is in a handful of raisins"!!!<br />
<br />
My weakness is dates, and I read the back of the Pams packet that I can scoff down by accident - think it has a third of my calorie intake for a day, or a bit more actually, can't recall, but it was HEAPS!<br />
<br />
I'm on about 2800 at the moment, plus cheats!!! -
and there is an artificial sweetener, yellow box, in the same section at New World as the cooking stuff - muffin mixes etc. can't remember the bloody name though sorry!<br />
<br />
and it probably isn't that important, a handful isn't much, but wehen you're counting every single calorie, it is! -
What brand of oats are you guys buying? I tried generic wholegrain oats once and they were terrible. I do like the over-processed Uncle Toby version though <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

I have started actually eating breakfast! I was one of these useless people who had a coffee and maybe toast for brekkie. <br />
<br />
Now have a cereal, may progress to oats, will see what happens as I have made a number of minor changes in my diet since New Year and after a brief hiccup with evacuation issues, things appear back on track. -
Harroways for me too. Find em great and not too pricey either as go through them pretty quickly.<br />
<br />
Yep raisans are sugary and probably dont really need them if having protein and oats but they do taste bloody good. Always look forward to my proats in the morning!
