My new experimental diet/plan

[Bouncer]

Though they do seem a little lighter and have great taste, they require twice as much water and are nearly twice as much to consume (with 2 packs) compared to my regular Publix brand oatmeal. So they felt like more of a chore than choking down my regular oatmeal which is only a few spoonfuls. This shit was nearly overflowing my bowl and I felt like I was shoveling all morning, lol.

wtf?? that is the exact opposite of my experience compared to quacker oats. less volume and faster to eat!

Just tried your chicken cooking method. Simple and delicious.

:thumup:

I agree. It seems like a tiny bit in one package (which is what I eat) and the same amount of carbs in the normal stuff was like hell to eat.

Definitely less in a pack prior to adding water, but I literally had to change the bowl I use because it soaks up so much water and creates such a large volume. I used to use a small cereal bowl but switched to a small mixing bowl. I'd say I have to use 2x the amount of water.

you have to use no more water then regular oats. i really am at a loss as to wtf you are talking about. the total volume after cooking is far less then regular quacker oats at the same dry measurement.

you you using the water lines on the back of the little pack??

[FitnessBrat]

The line on the back of that packet is 1/2 cup

measurement is different depending on which one you are eating.

Yes. I'm telling you. I take 2 packs of date and walnut oatmeal, fill with water until just above the oats and nuke it. This gives me a small bowl of semi sloppy oats.

If I use the lines on the packs of the betteroats it is too thick for me. Therefore I have to add even more water. Hence needing a larger bowl.

Yes they are lighter/ fluffier and smoother texture but they also absorb a lot more water thus creating a larger volume.

Do you typically use regular plain old oats? Maybe that is why there is such a drastic difference for you. The specific grocery store brand of flavored oatmeal is just as easy (relative term) for me to choke down.

Lastly, don't take this as bashing the brand and flavors. I think they are great. I'm just comparing to what I normally eat.

Well he mentioned the Muffin one, so I said that. The OatFit is 2/3 cup, also. And for the record, when I poured the 1/2 cup measurement into the packet, it was not the same! lol

[Bouncer]

i am comparing it to the big ass box of quaker oats they sell at costco. the difference is huge.

[auri]

Plain oats are the shit!!! Maybe some raisins and brown sugar...damn that's good stuff!!

[auri]

I'm lying to you all. I only eat oatmeal in cookie form.
