    i like coach's steel cut oatmeal. i cook 1/4 oats with 3/4 cup water, then add up to 1/4 cup vanilla almond milk, three crushed walnut halves, and cinnamon. 218 calories, but it fills me up. could be fewer calories if you use fruit instead of nuts. it's quick, too -- 3.5 minutes in the microwave (just use an oversized bowl to prevent overflow) at 70% power.

    You can use vanilla almond milk (reduced sugar) and this is less calories than milk. I also add fruit and sometimes PB2 for more flavor. I will even sometimes use truvia instead of sugar to lower the cals. But, I like oatmeal with just brown sugar and almond milk. Not a lot of calories anyway.
