Bit confused here. The calorie count site I read says oatmeal holds 74 calories per 100 grams, but the box of Quaker oatmeal I have here says 356 calories per 100 grams. What's up with that? Does it lose calories when microwaving it with milk or water or something?

Your site is probably wrong. Labels are mandated by the EPA, therefore (usually) correct.

Oatmeal is a grain, a starch, which has many calories.

Is it ok to eat pre-cooked oatmeal with milk? Or even like, commercial oatmeal mixed with driet fruit and shit like that?

So, /fit/ seems to have a hardon for oatmeal as a breakfast food. Personally, the stuff makes me gag. Sooo.... cold cereal I can do, usually Quaker oat Squares or cornflakes(nothing fancy, generic store brand). What cereals would /fit/ reccomend?

Try blending oatmeal, milk/water, flavored protein powder and banana or some other fruit.

Hmm, I'll try the All Bran, I'm leery of putting yogurt on it though.

Eh, no, doesn't help me. It's not just the taste of oatmeal I don't like, it's the texture. I almost never drink say, milkshakes because I find the thickness offputting. I can't even drink whole milk, skim all the way.

74 calories is probably for the cooked weight, 356 for uncooked.

Because adding water and putting it in a microwave removes almost 300 cals?

Oatmeal isn't all that unless it's steel cut oatmeal, dietary fiber is where it's at.

All bran will give you plenty of it, just pour a little skim milk on it and microwave it for 30 seconds if you want something warm, it's pretty decent that way.

well heating things up does remove caloric content, but i don't know how much you have to heat it up before it does so.

Normally the water is two parts to the one part of oatmeal, and yes, if you add two parts of no calories to one part of calories, you get 66% less calories in the total weight. Gb2school.

holy shit you add 2 cups of water for 1 cup of oatmeal? that's some goddamn oatmeal soup right there. and besides, it doesn't work like that. food calories has to do with how long it burns, absolutely nothing to do with its physical weight.

If you eat something that weighs 100g and it contains 100 kcal, you will recieve 100 kcal of energy. If you put 200g of something with 0 kcal into the something that has 100 kcal, it will weigh 300g but still contain 100 kcal. It means you desaturated the average amount of energy in the dish by 66%, no matter how calories are defined initially.

Two cups of water is the recipy for microwaved oatmeal, i guess a part of it evaporates.
