Right now I am bulking and oatmeal has basically become my best friend...unlike many people out there I absolutely love the stuff. I eat it pretty much every way you can, with fruit, peanut butter, nuts, sugar free syrup, etc. I was just wondering if an excess amount of oatmeal was a bad thing even if it fits in your diet. For example, I eat oatmeal in 5 of my 8 meals. Today for example I ate 400g dry oateal (which equals 5 cups dry) spread out throughout five of my eight meals. Is this ok? I use the old fashioned oats is case you were wondering.
Anything taken to much can be a bad thing ... even water. Whole oats are better than the refined ones, the darker the better. Organic are preferred. Some people gain an allergy to some grains.
I like the stuff too, they mix well with ON 100% whey...

Nothing wrong with it; I do the same thing myself, except I blend it and drink it since it takes too damn long to eat.

I second that. I blend it into my shakes in the morning and later in the day. Kashi makes a good oatmeal, but i am uncertain about the quality of the oats, and whether or not it is organic.
