| Yeah for reference 54 grams is about 200 kcal, so this is 1200 kcal or so of just oats. That leaves 600-800 kcal for other food if you’re targeting 1800-2000 kcal/day which is a reasonable calorie restriction. So this isn’t really a sustainable diet in the long term. |

| 300g of oatmeal is about 3.3 cups (US measure). I would consider a normal bowl of oatmeal for breakfast to be about half a cup, so this is quite a bit more. |

| ▲ | brandon272 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | I think you are mixing up oats and oatmeal. And I think (but am not positive) that the study is referring to 300g of prepared oatmeal. | | |

| Oatmeal is fine, but has nothing on hulled barley. Oats are for horses. Mankind basically co-evolved with Barley. |

| ▲ | throwaway173738 4 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Hulled barley gives me the worst stomach ache of my life. I’m a horse I guess. | | |

I've never tried Hulled Barley, and I guess now I'm put off from even trying :) |
