    I love oatmeal for lunch at work. I measure up about 35-40g of oats before I leave home, bring with me. I add hot water, sugar (comes in ready packets of 6g), cinnamon, chop up an apple, pear or other fruit if I have it, maybe eat it with some almonds. It is tasty, and it fills me up. :)

    Rolled oats are oat groats that have been steamed and flattened with a roller. Instant oats are steel cut oats that have gone through a longer steaming and flattening process than the rolled oats.

    That means cooked, then dried out. Whether or not that affects how the body uses them I don't know.

    Oatmeal has soluble fiber which is extremely good for digestion and heart health. A tiny amount of soluble fiber gets into your blood stream and over a long period of time, will help clean arteries. You can also get soluble fiber from avocados.

    Great thread! I also love my oatmeal, though I didn't always. My routine consists of Quaker Reduced Sugar instant oatmeal during the week. Its a quick breakfast, and fills me up until lunch when I have some fruit with it, or maybe a mid-AM banana. Each packet is 120 calories. Then on the weekends, I LOVE to take the time to make steel cut oats. I like mine with cinnamon, and about 20g of raw honey. Side of fresh blueberries....YUM!! Nice way to start off a Sat or Sun.
