Why eat steel cut oats? They all have the same macros. They're all complex carbs. They're all processed. My opinion they're too much of a pain to cook. I eat oats every morning and have been for 2 yrs. I take a cup of old fashioned rolled oats. 1 cup of milk or substitute cook in microwave for 2:00. Put 1 scoop (30g) of vanilla protein powder 1 cup of frozen strawberries and some strawberry sweetener. Take it to work and eat it or prep it the night before and let it set in the fridge over night. Have it first thing in the morning. Very good. Oatmeal is versatile I've got soooooo many recipes

Are macros the only consideration?

Depending on the ingredients u use. The proats I make are around 550-600 cal around 12g fat, 75g carb, 50g protein

Are macros the only consideration?

? I always consider my macros. Lol

Is that THE ONLY THING people should consider?

If you're monitoring your calories and care about having balance in your meal plan then YES you could consider paying attention to your macros. Otherwise how would you know what you're eating? But, if you're just worried about staying within a calorie range then it doesn't really matter. I make sure I have the proper amount of protein to repair muscle fibers after hypertrophy training, I make sure to have an optimal amount of healthy fats for proper hormone balance and have simple/complex carbs for fuel while staying within my caloric surplus range for growth

You are missing the point. Repeatedly. And completely.

How about taste, texture, appearance, satiety, other factors than macros? Do you/should people also consider those?

Haha... Sorry, got it. Simple one track minded here. The individual should consider whatever makes them happy in life. Go with what you like and factor in the health. Take everything into account.
