    Does oatmeal have to be cooked?

    I used to cook it a long time ago, but for the last 10 years or so I just eat it raw, if that is the right term (just out of the cannister). A habit I picked up from someone else at school. Does it change nutritional quality if cooked I wonder? I mainly just eat it like I do for convenience. Anyone else do it?

    What kind of Oatmeal?

    I would say if it is Scottish oats, then they need to be cooked.

    Other then that should be ok.

    Hmm. This is good to know because sometimes I debate having my PWO snack after training, but before the treadmill. Perhaps I'll give it a try. Nice to know I can carry my oats and whey to the gym without spoiling.

    Careful of mixing them a long time beforehand. I did made my shake before going to the gym once with whey and oats and when i drank it, the oats had puffed up and it was like drinking soft corn.

    Guilty. That would SUCK if the last 3 years I've been wasting my breakfast of oats and whey.

    I can eat far more raw oats than i can cooked so I always eat them raw, and its never done me any harm.

    The only thing I could think of would be cooking breaking down some of the fibre content. Could be wrong.I eat both cooked, and uncooked in my shakes

    Personally, I find that when I eat my oatmeal cooked and drink the protein shake on the side, I stay fuller longer.

    I throw the oats in a coffee grinder before I dump them in my shake. Works great.
