Merry Christmas and Happy NewG(rrr) Dec 2024 5:17pm, 4 Dec 2024 51,516 posts	0 Merry Christmas and Happy NewG(rrr) I used to eat a lot of porridge, but I cut out breakfast when I realised how huge the calories were. Just a black coffee for breakfast now. Except on marathons / ultra days, cos it's a great bulk of slow release carbs! G

No real reason other than doing what other people do! Half cup of oats, cup of milk, in bowl. Stir. Microwave until it tries to escape from the box. Golden syrup, maybe some dried fruit. Yum. But plenty carbs!
jacdaw Dec 2024 5:35pm, 4 Dec 2024 4,659 posts	0 jacdaw Porridge for me today. 50g medium oatmeal, water / milk / salt. Cooked in a pan. Drizzle of honey, splash of cream and some blueberries. Very nice, but all those carbs make me hungry too soon in the day. The oats alone are about 185 calories, and 30g Carbs.

Most of us ate porridge and noticed that we felt hungry about an hour later. Oats induce relaxation, so it’s strange that we eat them for breakfast. For tea would make more sense.

The tahini was OK but think those two missing ingredients would have balances out a slight bitterness and I prefer almond butter.
