What did you eat today?

[Owlie]

Owlie, is that steel-cut oats or regular oatmeal? I find the only way I can stomach rolled oats is with LOTS of peanut butter. With steel-cut I can limit that to 1 teaspoon of PB, or a couple (5) almonds or walnuts and a few blueberries and skim milk. Yum!

You might want to consider pairing the oatmeal with more protein, perhaps a couple of scrambled egg whites or a slice or two of turkey bacon? It may just be my body and blood sugar issues but I do much better the rest of the day with something like this for breakfast. PB does have protein of course, but not all that much...

Steel-cut. I hate rolled oats, except the way DBF makes them, and even then, I'm not eating them pre-workout! I'm finding that I need fat and protein before a ride (or trainer workout), and all the fiber in oatmeal just sucks everything up. If I'm not riding/spending quality time with my trainer, oatmeal with almonds and dried cherries is fine.
