    I have oatmeal every day, but rarely as a breakfast choice. It's my standard snack (I eat 5 times a day), but as it's a little bland, I understand how you feel. Here's what I've done to improve it. I buy oatmeal by the 1kg bags (a lot cheaper per portion than the little single serves) and use mason jars (500ml) to prepare the mix I bring to work.

    1. Fill mason jar with oatmeal.
    2. Add 1 tsp. of ground cinnamon.
    3. Add 1/2 tsp. of ground nutmeg.
    4. Add 1/4 tsp. of ground ginger.

    When I prepare it, I use the same bowl each day (helps me get the water/oatmeal ration right every time!) and add:

    1. 2 tbsp. of oat bran
    2. 2 tbsp. of my oatmeal mix
    3. 1 tbsp. of raisins
    4. 1 small packet of Kraft honey (about 3/4 of it, as the rest never wants to come out of there!)

    I have received so many positive comments in the kitchen at work that I've had to bring mason jars once or twice a week for those who have asked for one!

    I find the raisins and the honey really help to make the mix tasty! Hope this helps!


    This sounds yummy... I think I'm going to try it...

    OP- get the egg white delight mcmuffin its yummy and 250 calories... I them every now and them when I don't have time to make breakfast

    hhehe i cant believe ppl is saying go to McDonalds!! i did hate the oatmeal time ago!! now i love it! i just worked out ways to find how i like it! this is what i do: i eat oatmeal fform monday to thursday at work!! i take 1/2 cup of oatmeal, honey(i have a bottle at my desk), sometimes i take apple(diced) or bananas or bluberries. i cook the oatmeal with the water in the microwave, then i add the fruit on top and honey, and normally i have a side of 3 to eggwhite(hardboiled).
    Other option that i learn a few weeks ago, throw in the blender 1/2 cup of oatmeal, 4eggwhites, a bit ot milk(i use almond milk), pinch of cinnamon. then you cook that like pancakes!! Delicious!!!! when is ready i use honey on the top instead maple syrup :) and fruits.
    i hope this helps

    As your first post, why would say you can't believe people are saying it's okay to go McDonald's? Getting a 240 calorie McMuffin is not going to hurt anyone. Take the time to find out what the calorie and macro count is in the food we're suggesting before you say anything about it. Your oatmeal suggestions, sound good, by the way.

    well! you are right! doesn't hurt! hehe im sorry to express my comment in that way!! haha is just that i dont eat at fast foods anymore. i learned with the time how to eat when i'm out. maybe is because i lke more local restaurants and try to avoid the chemicals or high sodium food from there. i think i dont eat at fast foods since March 2013, but i agree some of them have options. i accept that i dont know what the macro is, but i will look info about it!

    Ok so I am trying to eat this regular oatmeal for breakfast and it is so gross that i really am debating on going to get something different for food. I am so tempted to walk to McDonalds I have done so good I am down 32 pounds since I started but i can't bare to eat this oatmeal for one more bite. This is all i have until lunch time. I am just in the mood today where I don't care.... Need motivation to move past it.

    Oatmeal is mushy. Eww. Just eat the McDonalds. Find something comparable nutrition-wise and enjoy it.

    i love oatmeal and have it every morning. i measure out 45g and cook it in the microwave in about 1 cup of water. once cooked i add in 1 Tbsp chia seeds, 1/2 scoop protein powder, 2 Tbsp PB2, 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil, 1/2 banana and 1/2 cup milk.

    super yummy and fills me up!!

    i also have made refrigerator oatmeal (do a search on google and you will find a link to 6 recipes and in that website is another link to 8 other flavours). cherry chocolate is my favourite!!
