Reply With QuoteThey are both great. calorie per volume you can eat more oat bran for the same caloric intake. I also believe it is a bit higher in fiber.

Oat Bran
Is this better for you than oatmeal or are they generally pretty much the same?

There was a conversations about this on the boards in this thread a few months ago .... Oat bran is one of those weird foods where the macro cals do not add up to the total cals (similar to wheatbran).So yeah, with oat bran you are eating fewer calories, and with almost double the fiber...not to mention a good bit more protein.~
