Should i be eating porridge if im trying to lose weight? just cutting fat right now, on a strict 1000 calorie diet, eggs for breakfast chicken breast and vegetables for my other meal.
Can i add porridge to my diet? if so are those flavored ones (maple and brown sugar/peachs and creme) ok? Anyone else eat porridge?
Like, they can put whatever "good for the heart" bullshit on the box, it doesn't take into account the additives they throw in.

>Anyone else eat porridge? every morning >1 cup of old fashioned oats >cook halfway in microwave >take out, add some eggs, blend it >add some turkey sausage or other meat >finish nuking it >top it off with either cottage cheese or plain greek yogurt it carries me clear to lunch, has great macros, and is the quickest, easiest meal i can scrounge up first thing in the morning in just a few minutes
I know nothing of your situation, but that sounds a bit too much. Try 1200. And make sure to COUNT your calories and plan this out. As in, you weigh your shit, don't just estimate. People are horrendous at estimating. Make sure you have a nice digital scale.
Cutting meals in general should be big generous meals but low in calories. Chicken + brocolli, egg whites, etc. Sugar is your enemy, especially simple sugars.
Drink only tea, sparkling water, and water. You want your drinks to be 0 cal. Don't fall for that diet coke meme poison.
If you are cutting never drink your calories.

You drink water which has 0 cals. You drink fruit juice, soda, energy drink, etc which has 100+ calories. You will feel as full with each of them. Liquids can be packed with calories, but you don't feel it. You can drink 10 cans of soda a day and not feel it.
So instead you ensure that your drinks are 0 cal, especially on a cut.
And drink your coffee/tea stragiht with no sugar and no cream.

Liquid Calories won't make you feel full, harder to cut

Even Whole Milk?

For example I'll have a breakfast shake: 6 raw eggs Scoop of whey Fruit for taste Top the rest up with malk This is "liquid" yet calorie dense and mostly fat
I still come in at the end of the day around 1000 calories in deficit
If you're cutting, you're done with whole milk. Skim milk at the very least. I'd recommend cutting milk out entirely, going for greek yoghurt, with some no sweetening almond drink. It's 30 cal per glass. As low as you can get. But it tastes like dirty water.

Yeah this. If you want porridge with fruit, add actual fruit. Add blueberries, cranberries, bananas. Its ok to eat a bowl of oatmeal. Just be careful eating too much cause you'll get the shits if you're not used to fiber.
Can confirm. Salmonella is a North American issue only. In Europe, they keep eggs at room temperature with no issues.

Yes. Squats and Oats = big gains.

Are you going to gym? If not no white foods. Oatmeal is white so nah. But if you cant resist it's got fiber which doesnt spike your blood sugar. Common desu this is basics

what's the difference between whole and steel cut oats?

Anyone even try eating Quaker oatmeal dry, right out of the package? It's my secret cheat meal. The shit is so good it might as well be heroin.
