    And you log all those extras, right? Depending on the quantities those could add up to more than the oatmeal itself, especially nuts, peanut butter, and chocolate.

    Yes, of course. lol

    I'm just going to eat it like how i always eat it. This is too crazy. lol I'm getting all mixed messages and even ones I've never heard of like it actually being 400 instead of 300 which I personally don't believe and don't think is right. Sorry. And it's for the Quick 100% Whole Grain Oatmeal by Quaker. NOT Steel cut or anything else.

    If anyone wants to talk to me about this still, message me instead. I don't get notified to come back here when someone responds .

    I did the work for you. Using a liquid measuring cup, filling it to the 1 cup line, weighing it on my digital food scale, it's 447 calories.

    Good thing you're not trying to lose weight. You're drastically under-logging it using 300 calories.

    It says that this is 300 calories for a cup of dry oatmeal. I don't think I'm wrong to be honest with you. And I do want to lose fat, but I want to gain muscle and in return when i build more, I'll burn more.
    You are wrong. You're not weighing the dry oatmeal which is the only way to get an accurate reading. It's 447 calories.

    No.
    Believe whatever you want. When you don't lose weight as least you'll know why.

    LOL Funny. I want to build muscle and in return, I burn more fat. I've been eating it like this forever.
