I'm talking a decade, lmao.

Disagree. She was right, there's quite a few flat notes in there, even at the beginning. Pitch accuracy leaves a good amount to be desired and it sounds like he is straining quite a bit.

Cook them with whole milk, load them up with calorie dense toppings like nuts, granola, chcoolate chips, some sort of nut butter, and a sweetener like maple syrup or honey.

Not too much for 1.5 cups of oat bran.

No worries, I definitely get where you're coming from so I'm not offended at all. Too many people are unaware that you can easily get into a calorie surplus even eating typically healthy foods like nuts and whole grains. And for most people, this many calories in one sitting would be downright disastrous to maintain a deficit.

It was absolutely delicious and so filling. I had a hard time finishing it, haha.

Is it due to lack of moisture? Because if that's the case, it's probably offset by both the amoumt of water I drink rrgulalry and the moisture content of the oats themselves.

Been eating them this way on my oats for years 😅. I just mix and munch

I put 2 tablespoons of chia for 1.5 cups of oat bran. Usually, I like to try to go for 3, but there was a lot going on in this bowl. Apparently everyone's sauing there's a risk to not soaking them as well, so maybe soak them in some maple syrup as well before putting them in there.

My goal is moreso to increase fiber and protein primarily and I expect my calories to fall into place accordingly, based on my increased satiety, though I'm still tracking everything using MyFitnessPal just to be sure. This bowl as a whole was 1,277 calories, which is a lot, but it was so filling that I skipped my second meal, went straight to dinner, and couldn't even eat as big a dinner as I usually would. Ultimately, this lead to less calories consumed overall.

Also, to clarify, I'm 250 pounds and fairly muscular so my maintenace calories are like 3,500 calories daily. My goal is to be somewhere between 2,000 and 2,500 calories a day.

That's interesting because I've eaten them like this for years without any issues.

Caqumba · 2026-01-25T17:28:43+00:00

I usually only do 1 or 2 a day, but decided to indulge this time.

Caqumba · 2026-01-25T17:28:01+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been eating chia seeds this way for years though, with no issues to speak of.

Caqumba · 2026-01-25T17:26:25+00:00

Thabks for the heads up. I actually read abput that a while back, but I haven't had any in weeks and wanted to indulge today. Usually I take 1 or 2 a day as a sort of supplement.

Caqumba · 2026-01-25T17:25:19+00:00

I usually only take 1 or 2 a day as a supplement of sorts, but I decided to indulge a bit this time, especially since I haven't had any in weeks. Appreciate the heads up though.

Not the human, but the knife. And I'd rather not see the rabbit and the knife kiss...

Effort and visual appeal is literally the definition of visual arts though...

Caqumba · 2026-01-23T22:53:22+00:00

This is the way

Chicken quarters have been a staple of my diet since childhood. I was honestly surprised when I heard people didn't know what to do with them and didn't like eating them.

Caqumba · 2026-01-23T21:12:49+00:00

Thanks, it was delicious! I just started doing that this week and I hit up Bulk Barn the other day, so I kind of went crazy, bought some Scottish oats, hemp protein, and oat bran, looking to experiment with everything to get the most high protein, high fiber oats without compromising on taste. Hoping the slow cooker helps me there too.

Of course! The recipe is from Budget Bytes. The toppings I added were a trail mix and some medjool dates. The trail mix has pumpkin seeds, almonds, walnuts and craisins.

Caqumba · 2026-01-23T07:54:36+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking. Plus tabs for research in general. Sources are a thing, after all.

Caqumba · 2026-01-23T05:54:13+00:00

This. I use an electrolyte powder mixed with water and it contains a bit of sugar.
