Turns out 40g of dried oats is the recommended serving size for rolled oats for breakfast. Guess how much I'm eating every morning? Yes, you guessed it right, about 155g every day, possibly even more, in the morning! Add peanut-butter powder, blueberries, banana, apple, coconuts, raisins etc and you probably get to about 400g if not a bit more. And it's all mostly fiber!
And that's not all. Turns out the type of fiber present in the oat grains actually actively dissolves the cholesterol in your blood and improves the general health level. Which means that oats are not just food, they're medicine too, they're super food. Lucky for me that I love them, and can eat five times the recommended range on an easy day.
Yeah, it's no surprise the 'large' packet of oats I ran out of so very quickly, because I was eating so much more than the suggested amount. In retrospect actually I'm surprised the batch even lasted that long!
