Quick oatmeal vs. Old fashioned oatmeal - Friday, March 07, 2008 10:14 PM ( #1 )
Quick oats and old fashioned oats are the same thing, except quick oats are cut more finely for quicker cooking, right?

Do they have the same nutritional value and are equally good for you?

Slower digestion causes slower sugar release.  Slower sugar release causes slower insulin release.  Slower insulin release causes less fat storage.  This is as simply as I can put the differences between processed and unprocessed foods.

yp was bout to say, the surface area will be alot larger so the more surface of a food there is in ur body the quicker ur bodies enxymes and stuff can get to it and break it down.

Oh so steel cut oats would be the worst of all? Theyre a lot tinnier than the other two uncut types...

No, steel cut oats are digested the slowest, because they are the least processed.  Your body must do the rest of the processing.

Ahhh good to know. They're the finest cut though... but they are extremely hard before being cooked so that kind of follows that trend.

I think the only difference between them are the time it takes to make them. I use both, quick oats for when I have to fly out to school in the morning and the steel cut for when I have days off and can take my time.

I think once you chew the old fashioned oats, they would resemble the quick oats, so i dont really think there is a difference.

I tend to agree with this one, although I can see where the others may be coming from.

I got a can of both and the quick oats resemble the old fashioned oats but they're sliced about 1/3 to 1/5 the size. I could see that once chewing and down in your stomach for a while, they may look the same.

ahh wonderful the search function brought up the perfect discussion.  I was at the store deciding between quick and regular, snagged the quick like usual.  I add it to protein shakes, usually blended so that its easier to drink.  Also for a quick breakfast with eggs, I think I will stick with my quick oats, as most the times I eat them I want the nutrients quick, and well if I am blending it gets chopped up anyways.

I put my old fashioned oats on a piece of whole wheat bread with chunky peanut butter and a pinch of honey.

Anybody else think oats are quite savory by themselves? I sometimes just sit down with a handful and chew on them for a few minutes.
Everytime I get on this forum, I get a craving for peanut butter.
