1150 cal oatmeal, 55+ g protein, nutrient packed!

[griff340]

Hey y'all, just wanted to share my go to breakfast. I'm currently trying to bulk so I'm eating 3000+ cal a day with a minimum goal of 155g protein. I have a hard time getting enough food in at the beginning of the day so this is my solution to that lol

1 c Bob's red mill quick cooking steel cut oats

1.5 c Ultra soy milk from Pacific

Pinch of salt, cinnamon and ginger

1 TBS ground flax seed

1 TBS sunflower seeds

1 TBS pumpkin seeds

2 TBS craisins

1/4 c walnuts

1/2 scoop now sports pea protein (could use a full scoop for more protein but I prefer the texture with 1/2)

Maple syrup to taste

All your daily Omegas, 28g fiber and 55g protein! I promise it's super tasty and with all the nuts and seeds the texture is good too. Enjoy

@griff340 This sounds amazing on a bulk but eating this on a cut will rob you of your valuable remaining calories for the day lol

 

[griff340]

@summerwillow Lol for sure! Bulk only oatmeal

 

[alongingformore]

@summerwillow you could get rid of the calorically dense ingredients (like the nuts and seeds) and it would be much fewer calories. plus, oatmeal tends to fill people up real well, so it would be perfect on a cut, to keep you full despite the lower calories.

@griff340 That's not a lot of liquid knowing how much oatmeal absorbs - does it become a solid with all the other stuff thrown in?

 

[griff340]

@justiceformyfoot It's worked out for me, but you can always add more liquid

@justiceformyfoot Steel cut makes a big difference afaik. It takes like half an hour, covered

 

[dawn16]

@griff340 How do you fit an entire cup of oats in your stomach, what the absolute heck.

 

[mandy1998]

@dawn16 It’s not even that much…everyone is different

 

[griff340]

@dawn16 Idk haha I eat it a little slowly but it's not too much for me!

 

[dawn16]

@griff340 Is this all one meal? I do like 50g oats and some hemp seeds soy milk and chia seeds / protein powder and I'm full for like 3-4 hours lol.

(Though I might get low blood sugar and have to eat a fruit or something cus it's still low calories, just filling)

 

[griff340]

@dawn16 Yup all one meal, I work as a landscaper so I'm very active all day and need the energy! I'm also used to eating a lot of fiber.

 

[liengsunwin]

@dawn16 Bruh, why you gotta food-shame in a fitness sub? Those of us expending a lot of energy can eat a lot of food, and 1 cup isn’t even “a lot.” I eat 1 cup (measured dry) sometimes. It’s filling, but nowhere near uncomfortably so, and lasts me a while. It’s only 300 calories. lmao

 

[dawn16]

@liengsunwin Food shame? I know it's not alot of calories, it's really filling is all.

I eat oats when I'm cutting and a cup with all the seeds water / soy milk added would have me lying on my side full for like 6 hours.

Not everyone is trying to attack you.

 

[liengsunwin]

@dawn16 I didn’t take it as an attack. I just think it’s hilarious that you think 1 cup of oats alone is a debilitatingly huge amount of food. lmao

It sounds like you are very sedentary or have gastroparesis or something.

 

[dawn16]

@liengsunwin Lmao sedintary..

They just expand in your stomach and I'd feel bloated.

No need to attack me now.

 

[liengsunwin]

@dawn16

nO nEeD tO aTtAcK mE nOw

But I’m the one who thinks everyone is attacking me. Okay.

 

[dawn16]

@liengsunwin I never called anyone sedentary.

I literally just said it seemed difficult to eat, lay off.

 

[liengsunwin]

@dawn16 Do you think “sedentary” is an insult? lol

 

[dawn16]

@liengsunwin In a fitness group it's a little insulting yeah.

More insulting than saying "how can you eat all those oats and not be too full" anyways.
