Enough with talk of GI.
Unless you are eating ONLY oats for your meal the gylcemic load of the specific type of oats is irrelevant.
If the carbs fit in your meal plan then eat them
I know of at least 2 brands of instant oatmeal. Its plain organic oats with flax added. That stuff is fine, but more expesive than a big container of regular oats.
Steel cut taste the best though IMO
Quaker instant with a tablespoon of Honey and a little milk. Then a protein shake. B-fast of champions.
Must be my upbringing (Mom made us oatmeal as kids), but mushy oatmeal is preferable over the chewy kind.
I’m sure the honey helps to spike insulin, so the GI is out the window.
Sounds like the only difference is the lack of vitamins and minerals, do you think that a vitamin/mineral daily supplement will cover the deficiencies of Instant?
gonna blow all your minds right now… you can cook rolled oats… in the microwave. 2:15 instead of 1:15. one cup of oats with 1 1/3 cup water comes out perfect (for me). If u really like quick oats for taste or something, I can’t imagine the little bit of extra processing makes any appreciable difference.

Just quoting JB here, he talked about it extensively. I’d agree that steel cut taste the best.
I would say its pretty foolish to herniate your brain about something like this.
Spend 15 years being consistent with training, diet, recovery and then this might remotely matter. But even then…probably not.
Quick v Steal cut? Who cares choose what works and do it.

My bad man, didn’t mean to come off as anything against you.
I know its an honest question my only concern is i am afraid your wasting too much time worry about stuff that you don’t need to stress out about ya know?
Sorry if i came off as a dick. Let me re-phrase my point.
IF your busting ass in the gym, hitting a good nutritional plan, and being consistent, the difference here is very very minimal.
So in your case, go quick oats, it works for you, are there some micro-nutrient differences? Maybe, Is the GI a little different, yah probably, are they something you need to worry about? Not IMHO, so do what works FOR YOU and what you know will make your life easier and make you be able to stick with it as opposed to grabbing a shit food.
Hope that clarifies, and apologies.
Later!
That does help honestly, and is probably the best advice so far~
thanks for the clarification.

Damn Ginger Viking, Shouldn’t you be out Pillagin and Plunderin? Eat whatever the villagers of the day have on the Cooker! Sheesh!

Yeah I thought vikings would be cooler. You should be e-raping everyone here, but you’re all mr. nice guy.
Do you even need to cook oats? i get rolled oats and just eat 'em like cereal plus other shit
Is it really as unusual as it seems to actually cook the oats on the stove? IMO microwaving them is far inferior in terms of the end-result, as well as I’m being rather sceptical regarding radiating what I eat

Me too. I put them in a shaker cup with water n cinnamon and drink/chew. Done.

You need to stop all that. Seriously.
I just take a cup of steel cuts oats and soak them in a little apple juice overnight. It makes them kinda tasty and very easy to eat.

Let me try to muddy the waters. “Instant” is often processed and has things in it you don’t really want to ingest. I find instant and rolled oats mushy and unpalatable.
Steel-cut oats are just oats, dried and chopped. IF you are going to have them for breakfast, just put a serving in a bowl the night before, pour in some water, and by morning all you have to do is pour off gthe water and nuke them for 1.5 minutes. Sprinkle n some raisins, or cinnamon, or flax seeds, or nuts–whatever you ant to do to add some flavor.[/quote]
Or just make a giant batch and have enough for a week; steel-cut oats keep real well and ARE better for you. [/quote]
This. I would make a giant pot on Sunday and then after it cooled, divide it into ziplock bags. Each morning I’d toss it in a bowl, poor a little milk on top, mic for about a minute and the result is a supreme breakfast.
Standard Quaker oat-meal only takes one minute to cook (non-instant stuff) but it has to be done in the microwave…
Just dump some oats in a bowl, some water, put it in for a minute and watch so it does not overflow
Put some Natural PB in there, mix, enjoy!

Who the fuck is going for kinda tasty? If I eat something it better be damn good.
If you want to eat oats without the added calories from sugar, dried fruit , etc. Try adding coffee flavorings. I have tried Capella’s apple pie,Cinnamon Danish Swirl, and pumpkin pie, they are awesome.
Peanut butter/Nutella combo for my oatmeal = sehks
