    I don't know if oatmeal for lunch is bad or not, but I enjoy it for lunch, especially on a cold day and I don't have anything else warm.

    Why would it be bad? If that's what you want, eat it.

    I eat it every day for lunch! I love it with frozen blueberries, stevia and cinnamon! To each his own! Good luck to you!

    I had some yesterday! I'm in an office, so I put two packages in a paper coffee cup, add hot water (tea water), cover and seep for a couple of minutes and it's good to go! Quick, filling, low fat/calorie, cheap lunch!

    I love it for lunch - a good whole grain. I like to keep the oatmeal portion smaller and top it with blueberries, greek yogurt and almonds.

    Any protein will keep you full also as a general rule ie. Chicken Breast, Turkey, etc..

    I hope its not bad because that's what I'm having, with an apple sliced up in it. Maybe it's bad if you don't get enough protein over the course of the day or something, but I can't imagine why it would be bad (assuming it's not loaded with sugar).

    I have oatmeal at any given point in the day. If I need the calories or I need the carbs, I'll even eat it at dinner.

    I used to work afternoon shift and eat oatmeal almost everyday for my 8pm "lunch" break
    nothing wrong with it...I lost a bunch of weight during that time...
    but I was also running 5km every morning

    If it is good for breakfast, it must be good for lunch too.
