oatmeal and hunger question
how come they say oatmeal is the best and most filling thing for you in the morning, whenever *I* eat it, I am starving in an hour. I get so scared to eat it in the morning, cause I know that i'm going to be hungry. Maybe I should be pairing it with a protein shake or a few egg whites?
