A member asked:

Eggs or oatmeal for breakfast, which is healthier?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Eggs vs Oatmeal: Oatmeal provides fiber, eggs provide protein and, unfortunately, cholesterol. A boiled egg with the yolk discarded plus some fruits, and nuts may be somewhat more healthful. The fiber is useful as well. Keeping the calorie count under control is axiomatic.

Trying to lose weight ASAP. I am 226 pounds and 411. Ive been doing keto for 5 months and lost 30 pounds. Ive heard about egg diet that you eat 6 eggs, green tea and a bowl of oatmeal with berries a day. Would you be nutrient deficient with that?

A member asked:

Whenever I eat dinner I am bloated with excessive air - I eat quickly and often don't chew thoroughly, but I wonder if I am intolerant to some types of foods? This really doesn't occur with breakfast or lunch, oddly, but I only have oatmeal or cereal
