Thoughts on Oatmeal?

People on this forum who do keto will say you are out of your mind for eating carbs.

I used to eat it a ton and it's honestly really good with cinnamon and bananas. If you're a morning person and actually eat breakfast there are much worse things you can be putting in your body.

Before I switched to keto I ate savory steel cut oats almost every morning.

Overnight oats have become my favorite. Old fashioned oats, milk (I prefer Fairlife to skim), vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, sliced banana, blueberries, chopped walnuts. I've also done them with peanut butter and used chocolate whey...there are tons of recipes online. Regardless, mix them up at night in a mason jar and you can easily eat it in the morning on the go if you want. I like the texture better than regular hot oats, too. I usually eat that and some eggs and get a great, quick meal with good macros.

I do overnight oats as well. Just old-fashioned oats, chia seeds, and milk. Then add fruit when it's time to eat.

I have 1/2 dry cup with berries every morning after lifting. Oatmeal is quite low calorie density. Along with brown rice and sweet potato it’s my go-to source for carbs.

Keto baws bout to frick you up. I do IF, personally.

Also, if you’re in a fast food pinch Starbucks sells their oatmeal with sugar and toppings separate so you can add what you like.

They usually come with brown sugar, dried fruit, and nuts for the classic.
