Ah yes, use whole oatmeal instead of instant oatmeal - it actually doesn't take much longer to cook. Definitely stay away from the sugary junk. The real advantage to oatmeal is that the fiber is quite high - this has many advantages, a big one being that you'll feel full and satisfied for the first part of the day. Also, 300 calories of oatmeal is 56 grams of carbohydrates, but only 1 gram of sugar [1]. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I think oatmeal is pretty much all glucose-based carbs and fiber, which is the healthier form of carbohydrate. (Fructose/sucrose/sugars being the worse form) [1] http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/breakfast-cereals/1597/2 http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/breakfast-cereals/1597/2
