oatmeal

[codei]

whats the nutritional value of this? my mom just buys huge 25lb sacks of it and then puts it in containers so i dont see any RDA stickers/labels. ive started putting 2/3 - 1 cup of it in my protein shakes

and so i dont have to make another poste about a different food, is there an all purpose site that tells what the values of different types of food are?

1/2 cup of old fashoned oats has 27 carb, 4 protein and 3 fats.

something I've always wondered and have been to lazy to find out, how much is a cup? like in proper non-american measurments ;)

[The_Chicken_Daddy]

a cup is a cup flakey - you can buy special 'measuring cups'

[flake]

I'd really rather not :p

like how many g's is half a cup?

[flake]

and how big'a cup? I have a steine at home, that count, heh heh heh

[The_Chicken_Daddy]

for oatmeal i think a cup is about 70g or so.


with my powers of deduction i'll guess that 1/2 a cup will have...um...er....10g.

[flake]

gotcha :thumbup:

[Tryska]

there are 8 ozs in a cup.

The oatmeal I eat has per 100 g:

-----
protein 5.6 g
carbs 56 g (simple carbs 1.3 g)
Fat 6.7 g
-----
Fiber 11 grams
-----

One portion (1 dl) weighs 40 g.

Oatmeal is ace.It keeps your appetite down-fold.

[syntekz]

How does it keep your appetite down? :confused:

[Wizard]

Soluble fibre...

[Cackerot69]

lmao at the strawberry.

One Cup is 250 millileters or 8 ounces. I don't know why they couldn't have taught us the metric system instead. Why do we have to chose a system that uses eights and sixteenths? Makes no sense and confusing as hell.

[mds_79]

yes the metric system is the way to go.

[pastdoubt]

1/2 cup of oatmeal is 40g., if you look on the nutritional info it should have grams in parenthesis.
