2) Follow the 50/50 plate method for your meals, filling half your plate (by visual volume) with non-starchy vegetables and 50% (by visual volume) with minimally processed starches. Choose fruit for dessert.
So, by all means cook and enjoy your oats, ideally for MWL with an equal visual volume of fruit (or vegetables).JeffN wrote:A 10-POINT CHECKLIST FOR MAXIMUM WEIGHT LOSS (MWL)

Oats would be considered minimally processed starches, and prepared in water have a calorie density of just over 300 calories/lb. Muesli (or even just plain dry rolled oats that haven't been further cooked, for that matter) can be relatively calorie dense - typically somewhere between 1500 and 1700 calories/lb, and would not typically be recommended under MWL.So, by all means cook and enjoy your oats, ideally for MWL with an equal visual volume of fruit (or vegetables).JeffN wrote:A 10-POINT CHECKLIST FOR MAXIMUM WEIGHT LOSS (MWL)
