FOR CARB LOVERS: ALL ABOUT OATS!!
Terms for types of oats:
•Oat groats{slang}: as whole grainy as you can get where oats are concerned. Unadulterated. Only the inedible hull has been removed. Cooks in 50-60 minutes.
•Steel cut oats: also called Irish oats or pinhead oats, these are just groats that have been cut into smaller pieces to speed cooking. Cook in 10-20 minutes.
•Scottish oatmeal: another version of groats that have been broken into bits, only these are stone ground instead of being cut. Cooks in 10 minutes.
•Oat bran: a high-fiber part of the oat that’s been removed and can be eaten separately. Oat bran can be prepared as its own hot cereal or simply sprinkled on your favorite bowl of breakfast to boost the nutrient content of every bite. Cooks in 2 minutes.
•Old fashioned oats: groats that are steamed and then pressed flat. Increasing the surface area this way and partially cooking them helps you get breakfast to your mouth faster. Cooks in 5 minutes.
Here are some super flavorful ideas if you have the time. Remember you can use an Instapot
for faster cooking times:

It doesn’t have to be all whole grains all the time. If you’re currently eating quick oats, go one step to the left on the spectrum for Unprocessed. Chances are you will be amazed by the change in texture and you’ll have yourself a new favorite breakfast. I,
started blending McCanns Irish Steel Cut Oats and making a fine flour for protein shakes. It is much different than buying some oat flour that has been through various processes. It makes it easier to chug your post workout shake. Remember, all foods are not created equal and that is a fact!! People say, “ It is all about the Diet!”, yet they Do Not Prep. Prepping is the hard part! Cooking comes second and then comes the fun part, Eating your own Creations!!
*My top 3 Favorite Brands for Products are:
Bob’s Red Mill, McCann’s
Steel Cut Oats, and Purely Elizabeth. Oats, spelt, grains, granolas, gluten-free items, and Organics.

Btw: You can always use Quaker or Malt-o-Meal packets when your are on the run or in a pinch!!
Some are completely processed filled w sugar but hey, WHATEVER!! Lol

! That is a perfect Protein/Carb Start for the Day
. I do grapenuts cereal w bananas and Greek yogurt and whey isolate and it looks similarly ugly!! We eat for fuel 
️!! Doesn’t always look good. I always tell guys/gals to post up even the simplest of meals; they impress me just as much. Especially if they post up EZ budget meals or really tasty cheap meals for BBers. Love fried Over EASY eggs. I didn’t realize that the runny yolk is the part that has all the good fatty acids and if it’s cooked you get all the protein but lose the micronutrients aka fatty acids. I do over easy, basted or soft boiled. Soft boiled is an art!! I have a little machine that does 12 eggs perfect! You can put into the refrigerator and they still have the runny orange middle! Delicious!! Some sea salt and pepper!! I actually make a cup of cottage cheese w eggs, avocado{sometimes a banana} and everyone thinks it’s gross! Great macros !! Even before bedtime.
