Greek yogurt

Better in almost every regard. Hell, Greek yogurt is even easier than oats, you don't even need to boil water.

This doesn't explain why bodybuilders swear by oats. Why isn't Greek yogurt, or any other readily available healthy food, the meme? Why oats?

>>35941353
I mix my oats with Greek yogurt. True story

>>35941353

It's the fact that is a carb source that is combined with other good properties

>>35941353
I don't even boil my oats. Rolled oats with nuts, raisins and milk.

Carbs make you fat though. Don't tell me

Why oats and not lentils?

>>35941524
>>35941353
>low carbs

I bet you smear Greek yoghurt up your asshole then eat it

>>35941529
Lentils taste like farts

>>35941273

Oats are inexpensive as fuck, what's so hard to understand?

Out of school, my first year on my own and I'm trying to save up for a house. When I have the money to be eating better quality shit then I will but in the mean time ima stick to these fucking oats.

>>35941529

This is the real question.

I don't know why lentils aren't a staple for everyone.

>>35941273
I mainly eat oats for the fiber. I just eat it with milk in the morning or just with nothing when I feel I want a snack or something.

pic related, I eat one of these every day before bed.

>>35941614
This product is truly gut und günstig.

>>35941599
That stuff's kinda hard to find in the states but if it were available I'd definitely like to try it.

>>35941622
It's really fucking great mate.
I always buy 500g frozen berrries (strawberries or raspberries) and several packs Quark.
I then boil some water and let 100g berries sit in it for a minute to defrost them. Then I just mix the berries in the water and the quark until it's creamy, almost like yoghurt.

Tastes 100x better than any artificial strawberry yoghurt and has godly macros.

It's cottage cheese.

>>35941689
I just happen to be eating low fat cottage cheese right now (they were out of non-fat)

The protein/carb ratio is just about on-par with quark (2.25 prot/carb vs Quark's 3.0)

I'd still like to try quark tho

>>35941273
It's a meme. It also wasn't associated with bodybuilding before the internet lifting trend (/fit/, misc, T-Nation etc.).

>>35941484
Mix it with the Greek yogurt then leave it in the fridge over night. Wake up to some nice juicy oats. Add fruit if desired.

>>35941548
To be honest even if i did have heaps of money id still eat oats everyday.

I eat a huge bowl for breakfast and then another bowl mid-afternoon.

Oats are cheap as fuck, give you long lasting energy, are pretty calorie rich and you can add shit like yogurt, fruit or whatever to make them interesting. Whats not to love?

>>35942014
>Whats not to love?
carbs

>>35941529
I half and half rice/lentils for my din dins, but lentils take too long to cook in the morning. I can prepare my oats the night before and just eat up good and get on with my day.

>>35942020
Okay faggot

Enjoy not making gains

>>35941273
Goddamnit why is Icelandic yoghurt a meme now? YES YOU ARE EATING SKYR YOU HAVE A VERY INSPIRATIONAL INSTAGRAM AND ARE A FORERUNNER ON THE FRONT OF ATHLETICS NUTRITION.

>carbophobia

it's not 2014 anymore idiot we've all moved on from that. maybe you didn't get the memo

>>35942030
>Carbs build muscle

>>35942034
>All diet is meme

>>35942078
Carbs play an important role in the body, and are beneficial to training and general life.

>>35942106
Yes, but you don't need nearly as much of it as normies believe. A little carb is good, a lot is counterproductive.

>>35941353
comparing oats to greek yoghurt is like comparing rice to chicken

>>35941484
That's normal, it's like muesli

>>35942136
kek pretty accurate

>>35941273

It's a meme like SS.

it's pretty much 90% carbs 10% protein, and yet it's not even the best source of carbs (lentils, sweet potatos, etc).

basically just fat fucks who like eating oatmeal with tons of sugary shit and convincing themselves it's healthy.

I only eat oatmeal with 2.5 scoops of peanut butter whey (300cal oats and 300cal whey), anything else is just shitty carb craving excuses.

I just had 100g of oats, 50g of nuts, a pint of whole milk and a fistful of raspberries and blueberries.

It was fucking delicious.

>>35942641

damn son 1300 calories and 30g protein, you def gonna be the next mr olympia

>>35941689
no cottage cheese is "Hüttenkäse" in german, "Magerquark" is low fat quark.

>>35941353
greek yogurt + all bran = setting your clock to your shits every day

Lentils give me crazy heartburn unless I soak them in water for a few hours before cooking.

>>35941353

>0g fiber

Biggest "bang for your buck". It's cheap and has no significant downsides.

>>35941273
The old slow carb mumbo jumbo:

For a period after ingesting the meal, insulin will be increased and lipolysis (fat burning) will stop due to this. Once the insulin has returned to normal, you will be burning fat again. The greater the insulin spike (ie: sugars etc) the greater the decreased % of fat the body uses as fuel but the shorter the duration of the spike. A longer slower spike (oats, complex carbs) will have a higher % of fats being burned (but still reduced from normal) but will last longer resulting in a similar net fat burnt for identical macros in the meal.

>>35941614
mein neger.

>dont even have to cook it
I've been eating porridge for 2+ years, but I've never eaten uncooked oats
Any nutritional differences? How does it taste?

>>35941529
Fiber intake both results in horrendous gastric disturbance and decreases serum testosterone level

59 grams of fiber is far too much for one meal, and almost too much for one day

>>35941614
>>35941599
>>35941353
Quark is way too protein dense to consume it along with meat and other protein sources on a daily.

You don't need much protein, just 1.2-1.8 grams per kg as an upper limit

>>35943833
It's a godlike power, I know that after having my oats I will definitively poo (in the loo)

>>35946849
It tastes good, more or less the same, and it probably digests a bit slower if you don't cook it

>>35941524
Only if you overeat it or you eat sugar carbs exclusivily

>>35941529
Eat eat 100gr of lentils per day. Godlike macros, put some chorizo in it or some greasy stuff to give it flavor and it's godlike

Oatmeal has fiber. The cholesterol in meat and eggs attaches itself to the oats and flushes out of the digestive system. Without oats, the cholesterol would make its way to the arteries, giving you circulatory and heart problems.
