All the delicious taste and texture is gone, it's just a brown mush with a slight oat and paper aftertaste, why would anyone eat this it's just a waste of precious oats
Also, oats general I guess, share recipes or oat stories and so on

Anon, please.
>>36527937
i have quick oats + water all the time, it's fine
milk isn't any better imo
but i can't stand water mixed with whey, it has to be milk
I microwave with water, add milk and brown sugar at the end.

>oat stories
this reminds me of the time an anon requested tips tricks and stories about tea.

you shouldn't be eating oats by themselves, it's literally just carbs
>>36528016
This. Oats,milk,vanilla whey,cinnamon, mix it up,put it in the microwave. Delicious. You can also cut up some apples or some berries and add them to your oats. But I guess since you are on a cut this is not a good idea
>>36528125
And proteins
>>36528146
not enough
>>36528150
Is any amount of protein ever enough?
>>36528150
10g for 100g. Not that much,but also definitely not "fe"
>>36527997

Umm you would only mix milk with oats if you figured it into your diet. You don't consume extra calories simply because you just on a wim think is not alot of calories.
Youre obviously very new to lifting.
Anyway, just finished my 1 cup of oats with water. All calculated to fit my daily macro intake.
I remember one time I went with my gf to the county fair and a horse fucked up my favorite shorts because of my pocket oats.
>>36528261
no, but you should never eat a high carb meal without a good amount of protein to accompany it.
>>36528306
No I calculate it, totals out to 450kcal with milk
Why aren't you blending your oats with eggs to create cakes with perfect carb/protein/fat ratios?
>>36528322
Why not?
>>36527937
Oats are a waste of macros honestly.
>>36527937
Start using rice dream.
You are welcome.
It's a little more pricey, but unsweetened Almond milk is a fraction of the calories of milk while still having pretty good taste.
>>36528485
unsweetened vanilla almond milk is the GOAT
>>36528447
You'll confuse your body into a hibernation mode like bears and store the entire meal as fat. Trust me, your body can't handle properly digesting carbs unless it gets protein at the exact same time. The ideal is to make sure each mouthful has at least half as much protein as carbs.
Can someone please explain to me, a relatively new /fit/izen, why I should start eating oats?
>>36528485
I get the ones that don't need to be in the fridge till opened. That way I can have loads at a time and reduce my frequency of shopping trips. Tastes good, less cals, and saves time.
>>36528522
So you can post informed shitposts about oats.
I used to eat steel cut regularly for the fiber but switched to pic related because it makes the same consistency and requires no cooking. Basically, I just got lazy and didn't want to cook oats anymore. I use metamucil to supplements soluble fiber that I was getting from oats too.
>>36528522
Relatively filling due to complex carbs, doesn't have so many calories and also comes with some protein on its own which can be further improved by adding stuff to it like whey protein
Don't you have low fat milk in the US? 40kcal per 100ml and same amount of protein as whole milk
>>36528559
Also noticed this, milk here in germany is 64kcal for normal and maybe 45 for the low fat variant

Some fiber, some carbs, some magnesium, some iron, some protein. Nothing remarkable. It's absolutely overrated, no idea why everybody keeps talking about that shit.
>>36528559
Yes we do. OP is just a retard who thinks life is an either/or black/white trade off.

Thank you all for explaining. I will use this knowledge to better myself and my /fit/bros.
>>36528658
well yeah, but better cut the hazelnuts than the quinoa and eat walnuts instead
>>36528026
This guy knows
>>36528306
>>36528345
Brah, what I do is I microwave it til it becomes hot oat cement, all the water gets steamed out and it gets all starchy. When it's like that, it doesn't taste as bad.
Then you add some cinnamon or 100% cocoa powder to taste. (I usually add 4g of cocoa powder because it's like 20kcal)
>>36528026

How much oats do you eat?

instant oat packets have powdered milk

i'm not using instant packets
but i have had quacker oats instant sachets with milk, they also had whey in them, decent but standard shit is so much cheaper
>>36528514
Yes I too remember the ancient times when our forefathers would hibernate in caves for the winter, filling up on oats and kale before sleeping non stop for three months

Do they soften while baking or do you leave in the fridge with the milk for a while to soften?

that's what I was thinking but wouldn't that make them really hard to eat? They're already hard as fuck.
>>36529545
He probably uses rolled oats, not steel cut. Rolled oats are soft and can be eaten without cooking them first.

I just eat my oats with a Protein shake poured over it.
>taking medication years ago
>one of it's other uses was to help anorexics gain weight
>i didn't know this

>turns out chemical signals which indicate satiety are suppressed by medication
>eat an entire bag of oats, a few tins of baked beans, bundles of bananas and fuck knows what else in about two hours
Did the hugest shits, my men. So satisfying.
Also gained about 5 kilos of fat so got off that stuff.
>used to have a small amount of oats prepared with whole milk and peanut butter and cocoa powder, tasted absolutely delicious
>now just have triple the amount of oats boiled with water and salt for the same calories, still delicious
Both times I have a can of sardines alongside for protein/fats
>100 g oats
>frozen blueberries if you feel like it
>200 ml apple juice

>100 g vanilla whey mixed with cinnamon in a separate bowl with just a couple of teaspoons of water
Tastes like heaven. I wish I had money so I could order more vanilla whey but I'm a poor as fuck at the moment.
>>36527937
Anyone here who knows how much a tablespoon of Quick oats weigh? thanks in advance bros
>>36527937
oats
chia seeds or hemp seeds
peanut butter
dates or bananas
cocoa soy milk
oats are actually one of the most difficult carbohydrates for your body to break down. they delay the transfer of protein to the muscle, so really you want to be eating at protein neutral at least, preferably protein deficit within a 2-3 hour window either side of eating oats.
enjoy your killed gains.
I use water, but mix an egg in. Improves the texture 10x.
I guess if you just want the protons without fat cals you can use egg whites. Also good.
>>36527937
Add cranberries or natural honey.
>>36528142
Microwaving you're whey isn't good.. degrades the protein or some shit. Mix the why in after you cook the oats.
>>36528026
THIS. You can use less milk, and still get the creamy taste. Also, ditch the sugar for honey or cut up fresh fruit.
>>36528544
Amerifat here, several years ago I traveled to Ireland with my university and the hotel had Weetabix on their breakfast bar... I thought it was a granola bar... it didn't work out well.
>>36533112
This.
>>36533138
Lel. I used to have Weetabix for breakfast all the time, but switched to muesli/porridge since and have never looked back. I use almond milk for muesli and organic oat milk for porridge.
Animal milk is awful.
>>36531147
what medication brah?
>>36528808
Jesus the calories of shit in that.
1 1/2 c oats +/- 450 calories (my breakfast limit right there)
1 scoop whey +/- 200 caloires
3 c milk +/- 300 calories (if you're using just milk to cook the oats and assuming 1%, although most of /fit/ like whole milk)
Almost 1000 kcal in one bowl...
>>36528920
He's making a simple granola.
360 calories
>>36533159
Do you make your own muesli? I can never find the packaged stuff around here, and if I do its too expensive.
>>36533103
I've heard about this, it's not entirely true. The effect of heat on whey protein isn't going to be significantly different from what your body does to consume it anyways. in my experience, trying to add protein after the oats have already soaked up the water makes it a big pain to mix.
Personally, I just put the powder in my morning coffee. It's delicious, and turns regular chocolate powder into delicious protein mocha.
>>36528026

Whey in coffee is the best when you have 0 time for breakfast.
>>36533221
Nah, I get the cheapest stuff available. However, I usually add cranberries, or a chopped banana (as I do with porridge). The cheapest stuff is fine and I keep it in a plastic container, and refill it when I need to. I always avoid getting the more expensive, branded stuff because they always have added sugars that I don't want. The one I buy, the cheapest, has only naturally occurring sugars (e.g. the ones in the raisins). Are there any supermarkets or shops near you that sell the super cheap stuff?
This is as good a place as any.
