**Alternatives to oatmeal for breakfast**

[BIGEDD]

I'm sick of oatmeal now. It makes me gag when i eat it and it has actually made me sick a few times. I tried adding cinnamon and sugar but it just that disgusting paste texture that make it taste so s**h. I know it is probably the best source of carbs but is there anything else i could eat that is just as good nutritionally.

cream of wheat.

My new discovery is frosted mini wheats. They taste great, have lots of weat and fiber in them, and also some high GI carbs from the frosting that are great in the morning .ALso they taste great!

perfect for bulking, and even good for cutting if you only have them in the AM.

also, you should try mixing in maple syrup with your oatmeal. If you dont want the sugar, get sugar free syrup.

In a blender, 1 cup of oatmeal, 1 cup of water (I use soy milk for a thickener), banana, and 2 scoops of protein powder.

try homemade protein pancake. It uses 1/2 cup of oat but you don't taste that at all in my opinion.

search for protein pancake in muscle food.

Frosted mini wheats sounds good. Lol!. I have heard about those 'cream of' products but i have never seen them here in England. I'll also look up the protein pancake.
thanx.

Aw, come on, dude - use your imagination!

Chick peas and yoghurt.
Black beans and cottage cheese.
Cottage cheese omelette with brown rice on the side (or INSIDE)
Baked sweet potato with cottage cheese.
Baked sweet potato with boiled eggs.
Baked sweet potato with splenda and cinnamon and a protein shake.
Stir fried (in Pam) soba noodles with onions and strips of tofu and soy sauce.
Egg white oatmeal pancakes with ANYTHING (YUMMM) (see Cut's thread on the muscle food board)
Wholewheat pasta with chicken chunks
Steak & eggs and baked potato
Wholegrain toast with marmite and boiled eggs and fat free cheese.
Kidney beans and salsa on wholegrain bread (dunno how strict your diet is ...)
Tofu and ANYTHING shake (fruit, kool aid, yoghurt, whatever, see plornive's shake thread on the muscle food board)
Rice pudding (made with skim milk and splenda, cinnamon, a few raisins - my god this is good)

If you're eating sugar you're probably not on a very clean diet, so, hell, go for bagels with cottage cheese and tomato and cucumber and fresh basil leaves.

I could go on and on and on and oooonnn ........
