[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know I'm late but the lack of nutrition knowledge always astounds me. To the people who are fat and can't lose weight and are already eating OP's "healthy breakfast" you should know and so should she that oatmeal and banana likely has JUST as many carbs and sugar as a pastry. Oatmeal is high carb and bananas are one of the if not the highest fruits in carbs and sugar. Yes you get fiber and the oatmeal is a complex carb but those are really minimal differences. A banana and oatmeal is sadly going to be nearly the same in sugar and carbs as a muffin. No joke.

Wait, even steel cut oatmeal is bad for you? I make my kids McCann's Irish steel cut oatmeal at least 3-4 days a week. No sugar added, just fresh fruit and organic milk. That's not good?[/quote]

That's not what I said. No it's not inherently "bad" for you. But if you, like the PP, think you'll be virtuous and lose weight by switching from a pastry to a howl of oatmeal with banana, you won't, because calorically they are both going to be high carb and relatively high in sugar. The difference is they're complex carbs and unrefined sugar but to your body, that's a minimal difference. It just means you're getting more fiber and vitamins with your carbs and sugar. No food is "bad" but in terms of impact on weight, these two foods are going to be pretty similar. [/quote]
