Blended Oatmeal - A Godsend

[Tom Treutlein]

Well, I invested in a blender about 5 days ago. I tried blending oatmeal 5 minutes ago. Oh. My. God. I love this. I eat my oats raw, so they're a pain in the ass to get down. Especially 5 cups (10 servings) a day. Now, I toss the powder in my mouth, use a slight sip of water and swallow. It's gone. I. Love. This. Shit.

five cups bro????????? that all you are eating?

 

[Tom Treutlein]

Well, a cup has 54 grams of carbs (2 servings @ 27g/each). That's enough carbs for me. So, yes.

SO 270 carbs from oats and nothing else??? You need different sources my friend....oats are great, but you should incorporate a variety.......

For the sake of breaking up the monotony, sure. For nutritional value, there's not too big a reason to do that.

Actually, you are misinformed there bro...there are essential vitamins, minerals and nurtients found in other carbs sources (fiberous veg. being one) that you are neglecting your body from...it's like eating chicken as your only source of protein....you need to add in DIFFERENT sources.....post your diet....

Oh shit, I forgot. I have half a pound of lettuce a day. ^_^;

As for my diet, it's very simple.

Five meals, spaced every 4 hours (besides a 3 hour gap between meals 4 and 5). The first meal it at 8 AM, the last at 11 PM. I sleep after that, trying to get roughly 8 hours. It takes me a bit to fall asleep.

Every meal is the same thing. I divvy up half a pound of lettuce into 5 servings and have that every meal. For my first meal I have a can of tuna with two tbsp of mayo. The oatmeal is there always. For my second meal, 5 oz. chuck steak (this changes to a huge plate of roastbeef and mashed potatoes when I'm at work, since I get it free). Third meal (usually tends to be an hour post-workout) is a chicken breast. Fourth and fifth meals are half a chicken breast (42 grams of protein in one, and by this point I already hit 260 grams of protein - which is too much to begin with. Just acts as more carbs). Every meal I also include 2 tbsp of ground up flax seeds.

Post-workout I'll have 2 scoops ON 100% Whey and 8 tsp Dextrose.
