I tend to measure 1/3 of a cup raw and cook that with double the amount of milk (or sometimes vanilla protein drink). Add half a cup of berries and just a few chopped walnuts/almonds.

I am NOT a small person, but that fills me up.

Raw! I measure out one cup, put in two cups of water, and cook it. 1/3 of a cup fills you up? Can I ask how much you eat for lunch or dinner? I usually have a sandwich or leftovers for lunch, and a normal dinner.

One cup raw! That's 2-3 servings.

Unclutch your pearls. One cup dry is maybe 350 calories. Even if you cook with some milk and add a bit of sugar or fruit it may be a 500 calorie breakfast which is perfectly appropriate.

That's more than 500 calories.

Nope. 1 cup of dry old fashioned Quaker Oats is 300 calories. Cook in a cup of 2 % milk and a cup of water for 125 calories. Add two teaspoons of sugar (16 calories each) and half cup of blueberries (30 calories). Roughly 500 calories!

I eat 2/3-3/4 cup with some yogurt and frozen blueberries. Could eat 1 cup.

If I ate as much oatmeal and additions as you, op, I'd have a terrible stomach ache.

Holy cow PP - that is a lot of food. Are you male or female? Or are you an athlete? also how old are you?

A lot of people have some really disordered thinking around food. That’s not a lot of food.

1/2 cup oatmeal - 150 calories
Milk and tsp of sugar in coffee - maybe 40 calories
2 eggs - 160 calories
1 slice wheat toast - 130 calories
1/2 tablespoon of butter - 50 calories
Banana - 100 calories

That’s 630 calories. About 800 if you have two pieces of toast with butter. Nothing crazy for someone even moderately active.

NP and that is a normal amount of food. Stop shaming someone for being healthy. Constantly dieting and limiting yourself is bad for you mentally and physically.

No that's not a normal amount of food. Stop trying to justify being overweight.

You don’t know anything about that person. Maybe they are underweight. Maybe they do a lot of weight training.

I usually eat about 700 calories for breakfast and probably weigh less than you do.

So many eating disordered broads here. Who looks at a big bowl of OATMEAL as some gluttonous binge?

Thanks for opening up this thread! I love oatmeal and got some really good ideas here. Especially the person who puts a little bit of raw oatmeal into the smoothies. That might just be the trick to my smoothies keeping me fuller longer.

1/4 cup of dry oatmeal (rolled oats not instant) and I cook mine in water, which horrified my coworker. But I like it!

What else would you cook oatmeal in?

I cook mine in half water half whole milk

I eat none because I find it gross. Slop, gruel. I'd rather wait 5 hours and have a nice meal than eat oatmeal.

How can you eat 3 flakes in one sitting?! If I have more than 1, I feel overstuffed.

About a half cup cooked, with berries, coconut flakes and/or almonds.

I should add that I’m not a huge breakfast person or oatmeal fan.

Most people prefer milk and find cooking it in water gross.

I eat oatmeal for dinner, not breakfast. For me breakfast is coffee, yogurt, fruit.
