200g of oatmeal a day?

jordanoye101

Hello,

Simple question; I am 21, 6ft and love rolled oats in the morning - with water. May seem boring but I just really like them!

I feel I can fit another bowl in during the day or evening into my calories.

Since oats are high in protein and fiber - is two bowls totaling 200g (uncooked) OK?

Health wise I am fine and have no reason to cut down or limit carb intake or anything and a second bowl normally satisfies me.

Thanks

As long as they fit into your plan, giver.

I initially read this as 200g of carbs for some reason... that would be a lot just from oats!

Two portions of 100g though I don't see a problem.

You must have something with it though, surely not just on it's own? That would be really dry!

Agree. If it fits your calorie goals then go for it. As far as protein oats aren't considered high protein sources.

I happily eat 80g for breakfast and if I get hungry later on or even during the day I always have my oats to hand. I find them very handy ‘fast’ food

I really don't know how many grams are in a 0.5 cup serving (US units, sorry), but I would have no problem eating that twice a day.

I will often eat cold "quick" (pre-cooked) oats with milk, fruit, and nuts. The Germans and Swiss apparently call that "Muesli."

On my uncooked Quaker oatmeal 40 grams is a serving. says .5 cup, but I notice if i scoop .5 cup it comes up a bit more then 40 grams.

Yes - instant oats just over 40g, rolled oats are 50g per 1/2 cup measurement.

I thought that was called Muesli everywhere! Isn't Muesli a thing in the U.S.?

It is, but it's not really super popular, so the name isn't as well known.

The home-made soylent recipe I have is based mostly on oat flour with a little protein powder added, some vitamins, oil, and xanthan gum. When I mix it up I wonder if this is how a horse feels getting its' feed bag?

Good catch line for a dating add "Im 21 6ft and love rolled oats" lol.

But anyways, nothing wrong with it if it fits into your plan. Oats are a great source of carbs and very cheap.
