Thread: adding sides to oatmeal

i usually have 1 cup of dried old fashioned oats 3 times daily. is it alright if i usw a half cup of a milk and a half an apple each time i eat. is this too much sugar? by the way, i dont have any other sugars during my day. whats the verdict, can i keep doing this?

i am using 1 percent milk. i hate whole milk lol. im 170 pounds. i basically use the apple for texture to get the oatmeal down my throat. i just cant swallow that stuff. i dont care though, i just use it for fuel.

my diet is..
