Im curious if oatmeal isn't fatty ? i mean if i took 2 bowls per day without consuming rice, just that and bread. will it make me fat?

Specializes in General Practice

Carbohydrates: I am sure you can eat two bowls of oatmeal per day. But, remember your total calories should only contain 25% carbohydrates. Bread is 100% carbohydrates and oatmeal is also many carbohydrates. Where are your protein calories? (60% of your diet should be protein.).
