My questions is what kind of meal should I be eating in between the workouts. Oatmeal and egg whites are what I'm leaning towards. Should I add fat, or maybe go with a shake instead. Any suggestions?

Oats n eggs are ok. Since you were going to eat oats, I'm assuming you're not low-carbing or anything, so here are a few other suggestions:

- A slice (or two depending on your goals and the size of the slices) of whole grain bread or sprouted grain bread, and a tablespoon of peanut butter, and 1 cup of skim milk or lactaid if you're intollerant

- A cup of shredded wheat and 6-8 oz. of skim milk/lactaid,

- a medium sized meal replacement bar (with carbs & protein, ex. myoplex deluxe or advantedge).

- a ~300-cal meal replacement shake (with carbs & protein, not a protein shake) - you can pick up ready-to-drink shakes or make your own if you've got the time.

- whole wheat tortilla (~140-150 cals) and a few egg whites (or hard boiled eggs, discard the yolks)
