    I would eat something else then... I'm just curious how this is a success story ?

    You know I add a scoop of protein powder to mine and I still have that issue, don't really know why, but always get hungry when I eat oatmeal...so I typically stick with other things, but I do like oatmeal so I get why you would want to eat it.

    listen to your body! a few days of honest logging will tell you what works for YOU!
    I was vegetarian for 17 years...I developed sugar cravings, was hungry all the time, ate mindlessly most of the time. I've just added back eggs and chicken and I feel better and I've weaned myself off sugar. my go-to breakfast is 2 hard-boiled eggs and a rye bread toast (wheat bloats me). its a 210 calorie breakfast that really satisfies. follow up with a pear/apple for snack before lunch and you're golden!:smile:

    I'm taking a college nutrition class right now and think the answer to your question is that straight carbs digest faster than carbs mixed with protein or fat. The protein and fat slows down the rate of carbohydrate absorption.

    I've been eating steel cut oats (I cook a week's worth at a time, which super simplifies my mornings) with 1/4 c walnuts and 1/2 cup of berries (blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, and soon blackberries YUM!) lately.

    Here are some fun savory oatmeal recipes, too. I really like the one with spinach (I use lentils instead of fake sausage crumbles):

    A cup of egg whites A 1/2 cup of spinach...a 2% slice of Swiss cheese and 1/2 or a 1/4 of an avocado with a Arnold's thin round bread with flax seeds is my usual breakfast. I have just been switching it up cause I was getting worn out. Or protein pancakes with cottage cheese and oats. Drizzled in pb2 and real maple syrup. Yum

    Try prepping the eggs a different way, or swap out the spinach for a different veg and try a different cheeese. Roasted red pepper and some cheddar might be nice.
