I need a good equivalent to oats

[nodiggitydave]

Don't get my wrong, I love oats, but at the moment i'm consuming 2-3 cups a day. Apart from veggies this is pretty much my only carb source.

I'm comfortable with oats because they are tasty, convenient to have hot, and nutritionally good with slow digesting qualities.

Any ideas?

Ezekial (sp?) Bread. It is a complete protein to boot. Google it.

Vegetable soup - onion, garlic, broth. carrot, potato, celery, potato, peppers, black pepper, bay leaves.

boil then simmer.

You can also add coarse ground oats and bananas to your shakes. Tastes good.

Brown Rice, potatos...two of my yummy faves for carbs lol

Not as great as oats but decent carb sources.

look into some pseudograins like Quinoa, buckwheat etc. They are higher in protein than oats too. They cook up the same. I like to do 2 cups of buckwheat groats, with some cinnamon, chopped almonds, and some berries. Mighty tasty, good carbs, good fats, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, high quality protein...you can't go wrong.

That stuff is awesome. Quick, easy, and is very versatile. They now have it at my local store, for $3.49 which isn't much more than a GOOD loaf of wheat bread.

It's got a ton of fiber too. Very good if you're eating a lot of meats.

Potatoes are a starch, and are not a good replacement for oatmeal. Very high glycemic and are a better PWO carb than a mid-day carb. sweet potatoes were mentioned which are fine. I also eat brown rice as a good carb source. Wheat bread.

Ezekial bread/toast is what Mr. O Jay Cutler endorses.
