    This may seem like a silly question but how much oatmeal are you having when you're eating it? If you're only eating 1 packet of oatmeal (approximately 160 calories), it's perfectly reasonable to be hungry a few hours later.

    If I'm eating oatmeal, I add a bit of butter to it and have it with fruit and Greek yogurt on the side as well as coffee.

    Definitely. I had 4 packs (160g) the other night with 50g of casein mixed in, plus some chia seeds and used full cream milk.
    This is precisely why I don't bother with oats, or any cereal. Just no bang for my buck.

    If it's Oatmeal alone the problem is likely due to a lack of protein. Try adding powder protein, a nut butter, or having some eggs too.

    Steel cut oatmeal keeps me full longer for me than the regular kind. 2 eggs and toast works the longest for me though. :)
