Re: Are these oats good from a high protein/low carb perspective?No, as they are neither high protein nor low carb.(Original post by NocturnalInsomniac)

Oats are oats. "These oats" don't exist, they are high in carbs.How about porridge then?(Original post by Bill_Gates)
they are relatively high in sugar? -

Re: Are these oats good from a high protein/low carb perspective?Standard oats that you can buy from any supermarket. These branded flavoured ones have gone processed, ground up further and had loads of sugar added to them. Avoid.(Original post by NocturnalInsomniac)

You can't have low carb oats, they're carbs. If you want to keep the carbs down use water instead of milk. If you want high protein add a scoop of whey or have a couple of eggs/an omelette on the side. -

Whole grains ARE carbs. Oats and other whole grains are GOOD carbs, they break down slowly giving you energy for a longer period of time than sugary simple carbs, such as white refined bread/pasta/rice. Just have 100% regular oats in the ingredients in any oatmeal you buy. No added anything. It's the best breakfast you can have involving carbs. -

Re: Are these oats good from a high protein/low carb perspective?Carbs doesn't necessarily mean sugar. Potatoes are high in carbs, for example. Oats contain a lot of complex carbohydrates, which are good because they break down slowly, meaning you get consistent energy output for a longer period of time, no spike in blood sugar levels, thus less strain on your pancreas. And less energy stored as fat.(Original post by NocturnalInsomniac)

Porridge is good. Don't go for any of the pre-made-up flavoured porridge, though. It will have added sugar. If you want low-sugar breakfast, you need plain porridge (I warn you now, it will taste very plain), weetabix, shredded wheat or similar.
Carbs are good for breakfast, anyway. You need energy, and breakfast is the best time to get it. -

Re: Are these oats good from a high protein/low carb perspective?This is exactly what I wanted to know. I'm following a low carb/high protein diet. I was recommended oats/porridge. I had no idea why. Now I know!(Original post by TurboCretin)

And yup I was aware of the fact some carbs are good, I would've just ended up eating some brown bread later. I've got myself some weetabix...plain yes, but manageable it seems.
