    Umm, yes, porridge is definitely made from oats :D

    And I did not realise mangoes were so high in cals...I love those too.

    I've got a good shopping list on the go here, thanks ever so much everyone!

    Well, to nit pick, you can make porridge out of barley or any grain or even peas. The word describes a cooking method and consistency (which is to say, if you boild oats and make it really watery it's not porridge anymore, but if you boil, say, rice in water you could technically call it porridge if it had the consistency of rice pudding), not a specific recipe.

    Get the steel cut oatmeal, not the quick cook in one min type of oatmeal. I usually eat mine plain w/o sugar. I like to add raspberries to make it sweeter and a lot of cinnamon.

    cheese is also good.
    whole eggs
    and beans are my new favorite. Very high in protein. I buy canned and rinse them for a long time to try and cut down on the sodium. I have bought them dry but they are very finicky to hydrate, and sometimes I am not so successful. (Like tonight, my lentils were still crunchy after cooking for 30 mins.)
