Oatmeal, yogurt, peanut butter meal

Want a nutritious, tasty 400 calorie meal that costs less than a
dollar and takes 6 minutes to make? Take 1/2 cup lite yogurt plus 1/2
cup oatmeal plus 1/2 cup water and mix them in a cereal bowl. Stick
in microwave for six minutes on medium (5). Then mix in two
tablespoons of peanut butter. Done! You have a 400 calorie meal - 6
grams of fiber, 18 grams fat, 18 grams protein, and 37 grams carbs.
Of the 18 grams fat, only 2.5 of them are saturated. Calorie
percentages: 42% fat, 19% protein, 39% carbs. The carbs are mostly
from the healthy whole grain oatmeal. You can also place this in a
thermos to eat when you travel.

Brad:

Oddly enough, this sounds good.

Do you use steel cut oats?

It is good! I use "regular" or "original" oatmeal, not the quick
oatmeal. I find the generic oatmeal as good as Quaker oatmeal. One
minor problem with oatmeal - it seems to make bowel movements stickier
- probably from the soluble fiber. I guess everything in moderation.

Sticky poop! Gross! I keep baby wipes on the back of my toilet - comes in
handy for all sorts of things...

Well, I'm glad we got that little caveat out in the open before I did
anything rash.
