    What?

    oatmeal isn't filling for me. Adding apples doesn't help. But apples do make it taste good, as do most fruit.

    When it's all said and done it makes 2 cups worth. I guess I should have specified it fills me up until lunch.

    Oats can be good and some what filling. If you food combine just right. My fav a tiny amount of dark maple syrup, with old fashioned oats, a sprinkle of blue berries, and Riches Coffee Creamer, coconut based not so bad on the fat, nice blend. Then I grab a handful of cashews for good omegas, and protein so that 1 hr later I am not hungry again. I was told that 1/2 cup of starch is a serving.

    Wut?

    I need to eat oatmeal topped with yogurt for it to be filling. I eat my main meal at lunch, and often have oatmeal and yogurt for dinner.

    That does sound delicious. Might have to try that for an evening meal. For breakfast, I would have to have some butter in it for fat and some eggs on the side or something to stay full. I have found I can't do just sweet for breakfast or I end up not making good choices that day...

    Due to the high calorie content, and to reduce my carbs a little, I will do a quarter cup of oats, 1/2 cup of water, 1 serving of some kind of fruit, usually frozen cherries, peaches, strawberries, or an apple, add 1/2 serving of walnuts, 1 tsp cinnamon, sometimes some artificial sweetener, and 1/2 cup of cottage cheese or some other source of protein. And top it off with some light whip cream.

    I need to have some protein and fat with it to make it filling. I had some steel cut oats this morning with blueberries plus leftover pork and veggies (uh, on the side), and it was quite filling. Giant breakfast, though.

    I never thought of adding cottage cheese! Maybe worth a try

    I eat steel cut oats many mornings. I find they keep me until lunch if I add some nuts and dried fruit to it. I need a little protein and fat with them.

    Yeah, on a usual day when I'm in the mood for oats and don't have leftovers from dinner or bacon, I add a little protein powder and fruit and have some nuts on the side.

    IA on the yogurt. Or protein powder. Or PB can help. Or just eating it with other protein sources like eggs and bacon/sausage.

    I don't think there's any "best food for breakfast." Oatmeal is nice, as are many other possibilities.

    I always make my oatmeal with 35-40 grams (1 deciliter) of rolled oats to 2 deciliters of water. When it's done, I stir in a tablespoon of all-natural peanut butter and a handful of fresh or frozen berries. Sprinkle with cinnamon because it's delicious and enjoy!
    It's super satisfying, the best comfort food ever for me :)

    Thought I'd add, baked oatmeal is also pretty good. Especially if you add protein to it - I've just done protein powder, I do want to try adding greek yogurt though. With the powder you need to bake it at a lower temperature.

    I need some fat and protein. I've tried this, it's not filling at all for me plus honestly I never found that it tasted THAT good. It's better if you add almond butter though...
