[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They make me hungry and also make me fart up a storm. As they do not even taste good to me I much rather have some Greek yoghurt or eggs and some berries or Ezekiel bread for fiber. You should at the minimum have some protein with those oats. [/quote]

A serving of oats (the old fashioned kind) has 6 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber.  This is without adding anything at all to it.  It isn’t like OP is eating a slice of Wonder Bread for breakfast [/quote]

Not impressed by that. I try to have at least 25g of protein in my breakfast. But as I said, my main issue with oats is that they don’t fill me up and cause me digestive issues.[/quote]

FYI 25 grams of protein is about the maximum your body could even absorb in one sitting, so going over that amount is a complete waste and you’ll just be peeing it out and overworking your kidneys for the privilege.[/quote]

This is complete BS. There are studies that show you can absorb about that much for muscle protein synthesis. But there are other tissues in your body that require protein. And what you don’t use for those gets simply used as energy. Nothing gets wasted. Protein is good for you and you need more if it as you age. Your kidneys will be fine. [/quote]

Hmmm… well I have a lifetime of experience with CKD and I can tell you from experience that your kidneys very well may NOT be fine.  But sure, it’s BS because whatever fad nutritionists you’re into on tiktok or some inane podcast are constantly bloviating about protein.  I’ll pass your enlightening take on to some of my nephrologist and renal dietician friends.[/quote]

It’s virtually impossible to put yourself into kidney disease or failure from consuming too much protein. That would take some serious effort. Sure it’s possible, just like anything is possible.
