Been trying to get into overnight oats (home made) for breakfast but its been hard to hit protein numbers, even with protein powder.
- mikestorrent 8mo agoThe study is suggesting two days of intense oats. You can go totally without protein for two days and barely notice it as long as you're keeping yourself full, and a big pile of oats does a surprisingly good job of that.
- blinded 8mo agoOnce backpacking in Alaska I did oatmeal 10 days straight haha
- kstenerud 8mo agoWith just the oats it's hard. What I do is ferment my own greek yogurt (milk and starter in an instant pot for 9h, then strain it in the fridge overnight) and eat that with müsli mixed in (the German kind that's nothing but whole grains and some raisins, not the garbage that's basically breakfast cereal). Tastes great and gives you a ton of slow-release energy and protein.
- blinded 8mo agoAdding greek yogurt thats a good idea! I've had something similar in Iceland, good call.
- fuzztester 8mo agoGreek yogurt has a lot of protein?
- Palmik 8mo agoActual Greek yogurt will have 8-12% of it's weight in protein. Another option might be curd / quark (differs a lot per country).
- kstenerud 8mo agoQuark is also simple to make. 1 part buttermilk to 4 parts milk (3% or better), ferment it at 40 degrees C for 20 hours, then strain it overnight.
- askvictor 8mo agoHow much protein do you actually need though? If you're not using it immediately (i.e. shortly after exercise) it's wasted.
- Knufen 8mo agoThis is wrong, there is no proof of an anabolic window.
- lifis 8mo agoI use rolled soy flakes. I think they are pretty much perfect for this purpose, but unfortunately not so easy to source
