Anyone know why McDonald's porridge is much lower calorie than other brands?

McDonald's plain porridge pots, 220g are apparently very low fat and 154 Calories. Other brands are all 200+. Why are McDonald's so low?

    Maybe McDonald’s uses water and others use milk?

    Could be. Apparently in store they just microwave the container as it comes.

    Where I live, there's no such thing as unsweetened McDonald's oatmeal. It already has the sugar mixed in. Years ago, you could get it unsweetened.

    Because it's regular plain quick oats mixed with hot water.
