Benefits of Porridge?

[drag0n]

Could someone tell me the nutritional benefits of porridge (oatmeal)? Is it a good source of complex carbs or protein? Does it increase metabolism? etc etc

Cheers

It's a great source of complex(slow releasing) carbs. It contains fiber, very filling and been proven to lower bad cholestorol. when mixed w/ some cinnamon and splenda it tastes friggin' awesome.

Mixed fruit is also a great thing to have with it. Source of low GI carbs, which all bodybuilders need. And as ReelBigFish said, plenty of fibre to help absorb proteins.
