Does anyone else feel that porridge makes them hungrier sooner?

i think its just more processed and has more sugar in it, and then if you put in even more sugar and it goes all warm and gooey

It doesn't fill you up and it costs more and takes about 1 less minute to prepare. Don't use ready brek if you have any common sense.

Yes. Simply because I am a bit lactose intolerant so can only have a bit of porridge which wakes my stomach up rather than satisfying any night time hunger.

Do you eat instant porridge by any chance?

If what you're eating is a fine powder it honestly doesn't surprise me.

Buy the whole grain, mix it with some MILK and cook it in a pot. It will take 3-4 minutes and will fill you up. Have a cup of coffee with it as well for extra filling.

I eat like a pig but I never feel hungry after eating real porridge. I've always felt hungry after eating processed instant oat crap. It just doesn't feel you up and has all the texture of water.

Whole grains! I never ate porridge before because dad would always buy ready brek which quite frankly is disgusting but I eat it every morning now I've tried unprocessed oats.

Instant oats is the biggest advertising coup in history. Food that takes, 3-4 minutes a WHOLE MINUTE FASTER OMG!!! please, boycott this nasty, cheap and unsatisfying crap. Thanks

over 100g of porridge or oats that make up the porridge?

I usually have 20-25 g oats, made with water and soya milk and a bit of sugar or honey or syrup or fruit.

100g of oats that make the porridge (sometimes slightly more).

300ml of milk, raisins and then crunchy on top - yes my bowl is huge

Do you cook it? It would expand alot if you did so.

I have about 150g in the morning, but don't cook because there isn't a bowl big enough haha

Also x2 with the raisins thing, can't beat that.

Edit: On the ready brek thing, its actually no different from normal outs, its just in powder form, I've compared both labels and theres no difference, except ready brek is fortified with vitamins, its only after you put the toppings etc that it becomes laden with sugar.

I thought lactose intolerance was to do with milk?

Porridge can be made with water (and, like the Scots, a pinch of salt, not sugar = lovely!)

You have 150g?? Are you sure?

I have 20g...
And to the person who said porridge is horrible with water, I think it tastes much nicer with water!

It's low to med gi, it shouldn't do, however I just eat oats uncooked with milk and protein. I woulda thought cooking it into porridge would "make you even more full"

And why eat oats 'uncooked with milk and protein?' In fact, how can you; protein's not a food, it's an element found in food. There's protein in the oats. Just cook them in water and eat them, they'll do you good.

I feel full for ages after I eat porridge. I eat rather a lot of it, and then I'm often drinking water (with coffee grounds added), so I feel full for bloody ages.

This reminds me. I need to clean my porringer.

I think by protein, he meant a proteinous food eg. nuts. I thought that was pretty obvious..

Also, uncooked rolled oats with milk is really nice! I prefer it to cooked porridge.
