300g of oatmeal is about 3.3 cups (US measure). I would consider a normal bowl of oatmeal for breakfast to be about half a cup, so this is quite a bit more.

- ksherlock 9mo agoYeah... a large (1" tall) canister of oatmeal is 1.2kg so imagine eating 2 big ass cans of oatmeal a week.
- brandon272 9mo agoI think you are mixing up oats and oatmeal. And I think (but am not positive) that the study is referring to 300g of prepared oatmeal.
- smallerize 9mo agoThat wouldn't really make sense since amount of water could vary. Anyway the article says "Each oat meal comprised 100 × g of rolled oat flakes... boiled in water."
- PaulRobinson 9mo agoWhich is why they are spreading the 300g out over an entire day, and it's the entire diet for 2 days. The study is not suggesting this is a long-term diet. They're saying "eat oats for all your food for two days, and your cholesterol lowers by ~10% and then stays low for ~6 weeks due to changes in your gut biome". They're not saying eat 300g for breakfast and then eat as normal. They're not saying do this every day. They're saying 2 days, this is what you eat, spread out to replace all your meals across those 2 days, then go back to normal.
