Ok when you guys talk about oatmeal, do you mean the bland stuff that comes in the big cardboard tube thing, with no dried fruits and sugars added in?  The oatmeal I eat is peaches and cream and it's got sugars in it.  I just want to know if you're talking about the bland stuff or the good stuff

yeah that's the stuff, I add it to shakes or other stuffthat isn't so bland so I can still get the fiber content (complex carbs) but not have to deal with the bland taste.

Solid Oak, the "Rolled Oats" that comes in the cardboard tub is the stuff that you want to have.  Have you ever compared it to the oatmeal in the "peaches and cream" concotion? The cardboard stuff is whole and has form and it's somewhat brown.  The peaches and cream stuff seems as if it has been processed, it's fine, really white, and it's mixed with a **** load of sugar.  I love the plain stuff in my shakes.  I also love having it with some dried fruit and milk...nuke it for a few minutes and it tastes a lot better then the store bought flavored junk.

yep that 's it  Though I do add some sugar free jelly and some walnuts in mine.  I look forward to  it every morning

Both of them are just as good but if you can't afford the cals go for regular. However you could also go for rice and get the same effect and in my opinion rice lasts longer in your system.

i have a stupid Question do you cook the oatmeal first or leave it raw.
 

I buy the oatmeal that cooks in 1 minute and do not cook it first, and it works well

When people say 1/2 a cup of oatmeal, how much is that in weight?

good Ide never thought of that.
 
I always hate my breakfast.

I microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds, then stir, then put it in there for another minute.

 I put it in a glass of water and drink it.
