Question about oats

[Introspective]

When people have 1 cup oats is this like Quaker oats and how do they usually have them, like put in a pan with milk then heated over a stove ? How big a cup i have food scales so can take precise measurements. Is it good to have oats while cutting ?
Thanks

8oz dry oats in a pot with water and let it cook until soft and most of the water is absorbed by the oats. I got used to steel cut oats which take slightly longer. Rolled oats take less time. You can use instant oats if your pressed for time. If your not following a CKD then oats are fine to use while cutting.

Thanks!!
Are instant oats not as healthy as steel cut or rolled ? Do people usually pour milk on before eating ?

Instant, I would say is below grade compared to both steel and rolled... and I alternate days usually eating them.

for me right now 1/2 cupish (depends)... water, put in microwave... and eat. Simple as that.. add spenda, honey, tabasco... watever floats your boat and fits into your diet.
