:happy: I know everybody knows this but.... Porridge is possibly the BEST breakfast ever!

Normally I go to the gym before work and have a yogurt before I start at 9am. By 10.30am my stomach is growling with hunger and I end up snacking. Today I had a bowl of 40g porridge oats, made with about 50ml skimmed milk and the rest water and not been hungry! I will last until my lunch at 2pm!

I know porridge is widely known as a slow release energy food which keeps you full up, but felt like I needed to share this to emphasise this more!!!

    I was just talking to a co-worker about this the other day. I've had oatmeal for breakfast every M-F for a year and a half.

    1/3 cup rolled oats, 1/8 cup craisins, 1/2 cup egg whites. 1/2 cup water. Microwave for 2 minutes.

    Yummy filling goodness.

    Sorry, I know each to their own, but this just sounds wrong :sick:


    My dad makes the best porridge ever: just plain porridge (rolled) oats, water, a pinch of salt and 2 tbsp of single malt whisky :drinker:

    Best served immediately with some Canadian maple syrup :tongue:

    I totally agree. I made the switch to porridge earlier this year and I will not be going back everr! It keeps me full for so much longer. I have mine with chopped banana & raspberries!
