During maintenance/cutting

Which one is preferred and why?

Oatmeal has 66 carbs , non sugar, 7 fat (1 sat), in 100 g

where
sweet potato has 21 carbs,8 sugar, no fat in 100 g.

We usually eat a 300 g potato which is 63 carbs , 24 sugar , no fat.........

Now...i know the sugar thing is the non-processed nature one...but yes it is sweet and it has sugar !.....

so.......i tend more to oatmeal ...what do you think

Note: My porridge is not sweet . its like oats/egg whites/salt

I used both on my last cut and it worked great.....these two carb sources were 90% of my carb diet each day.

Both are good, more fiber in the sweet potato and way more vitamins....boat loads of vitaminA


Posted by: Jodi

either one will do. If you are looking for an even better carb source then you could go with Scottish Oats instead. Less processed.

Don't forget to eat the skin on the SP too

i would have to go with oatmeal


Posted by: Jodi

Why?

This may sound hard to believe...But for the past 6 months...Other then cheat meals, and pwo...My only carb source is oats. Have them dry, wet, cooked, just eat them for every meal.

Whats this scottish oats you are talking about? I wonder if I could hit 5% with a less processed oat!!


Posted by: Jodi

they are also called Scottish Oats. Basically it's the grout chopped into pieces instead of rolled out.

Sounds similar to steel-cut oats.

ya..larger pieces compared to Quaker...
I use Jordan's Multigrain porridge Conservation Grade Wholegrain Oat Flakes (50%), Conservation Grade Wholegrain Wheat Flakes (23%), Conservation Grade Barley Flakes (17%), Rice Flakes (10%) or organic Jordan Oats.

Not processed, large pieces.

steel cut oats are yummy!


I really like Oat bran as an alternative to Oats too - higher in protein and fiber and they swell up A LOT so keeps you fuller!

I have scottish oats every morning as part of my breakfast 100% oats.

Yup, same thing sorry. To many names for it

How do you prepare your steel cuts... I have been eating the packet oats (full of sugar) but I was gaining so i didn't care... Now I need to lose a few pounds... I usually add a couple tbl of peanut butter in them too...

Maybe a dumb question, but why would it be good if it has more protein, isn't it incomplete?


Posted by: Jodi

Yes it is but when injested with other proteins such as whey, eggs or even other grains then it becomes a complete protein.


Posted by: Emma-Leigh

.... Just because it is incomplete does not mean your body will not use it.


Posted by: Emma-Leigh

Depends... I usually cover and soak mine in boiling water for an hr before cooking for a few minutes and add banana, cottage cheese and cinnamon.

Oatmeal/ steel cut oats, fill me up to much, so I cant eat meal 2 so I have switched to sugar free muesli.

Natty peanut butter and banana in my oatmeal. As for sweet potato or oats, I dunno. I always do oats in the morning. Sweet potato just doesn't sound like breakfast food to me.

Food is Food. Dosent matter when you eat it. It is just that most of us are so conditioned into thinking breakfast, Lunch and Dinner 'foods'. But it really dosent matter what you eat and when you eat it. So long as it fits into your cal requirements.

Wow...I just read up on it...http://www.bodyforlife2.com/incompletprotein.htm

I can't believe how much protein I actually eat...Just from adding the protein up in my oats, nuts, and bread. So technically when I eat my midnight bedtime snack of cottage cheese and almonds, the 5g of protein in the almonds is complete!!! w0000000t w00000t
