What's so great about oats? They have kinda shitty macros and not that many calories, why does everyone here say "squats+oatz" and shit?
Just a curious noob, I like oats, i just don't see why they're good for gains.

Perfect fiber source. I poop a telephone pole every morning.
bumping for entertainment
Oats are delicious mang. Oats, milk, nuts, some sweetener, 3 mins in microwave. Mhhhh

>cheap
>great carb source
>shitton of fiber

>versatile, hundreds of ways to eat it
>>34868131
because they are a meme, same as squats and memes are great
Oats are one of the tastiest whole grains.
Soluble fiber, beta glucan, phenols (especially avenanthramide), lignans, inositol hexaphosphate, magnesium. It's good food
I don't know how to categorize them and it's confusing my appetite Is it cereal-tier that you eat in the morning?

>1 cup oats in bowl
>Fill bowl with water until oats are barely submerged
>1:30 in microwave
>add handful of frozen blueberries and stir
>1:30 in microwave again
>1/3 cup plain greek yogurt and stir
That+2 scoop protein shake w/water is usually my morning post workout meal. Delicious, decent macros, pretty filling and cheap would rec desu

>some sweetener
Don't do this, use honey.
>>34868454
Honey falls under "some sweetener"
>>34868131
Decent macros, cheap and filling, source of fiber.
Supplement your oatz with a decent protein source and you're golden.

I wrongly assumed you were referring specifically to marketed "sweeteners"
> They have kinda shitty macro
Its a carb, that doesn't make it shitty. You should eat carbs early in the day just before a workout...
> not that many calories
exactly. Why would you want caloric dense carbs? So you don't have macros leftover for protein later?
> why does everyone here say "squats+oatz"
Its actually squats & oats & pullovers, its a meme that existed long before 4 chan or the internet.
> i just don't see why they're good for gains.
"good for gains" is a retarded concept. Dark chocolate is "good for gains", but not if that's all you eat.
am i the only person here that gets huge shits from oats?
like i eat a spoonful and i have to shit immediately
Don't you get enough carbs and fiber from bread?
...you aren't eating shitty white bread, right?
>>34868492
I'm not really eating bread senpai
>>34868492
I don't eat bread because my balls already dropped. Bread is for pussies.

Well milk is L I T E R A L L Y for baby mammals so I hope you're not on any dairy
>>34868373
>> cheap
not in italy or at least not where i live, with the price of 1 kg of oats i can buy 4 kg of minestrone
>>34868131
>wake up
>grab bowl
>pour in oats and milk
>microwave
>add butter and literally anything else (nuts, honey, jam)
>eat
Takes like 10 minutes, tastes fine, and it's cheap. What the fuk else am I supposed to eat every morning? Eggs? I already eat that for lunch. Cereal is shit, salads aren't anywhere near enough calories.
Dumb question:
I can use them to replace pasta/rice in soups ?

Yes. Have you heard of barley soup? Oats serve the same function.
I like oats cause they keep me full when I'm cutting and they're low calories.
