What's On Your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?
Yes, that's the measurement of dry oats.
I used to do 1/4 cup, but accidentally used a 1/3 cup one day and realized I liked the consistency better with 1/3 cup.
Sometimes I use flavored yogurts, which is nice - it gives them whole things a nice apple-y or strawberry-y flavor. I also sometimes add a tablespoon of PB2 or cocoa powder. A lot of people do mix ins too like nuts or seeds - but I find that I don't want to add the calories of those things.

I am the exact same... I drink my coffee on my way into work, then I really "eat" at around 730-8am or so. Keeps me satisfied too!

my protein hot chocolate is only 80 calories and 15 grams of protein, so not a lot and I think you could work it into your day

Which one do you like? I have been drinking the diet one that is 25 cals but would rather have protein

I have 3 different brands at home right now, all between 80-90 cals, 15g protein each. I could fit that in most days, but if it comes between CHEWING something, and drinking something...I pick CHEW every time! HAHA
I try to keep my cals between 800-900, since I am still trying to lose weight.
I've gone through a couple of cycles where I was hungrier at night, so put off eating for a few hours in the morning, and used those calories at night. It worked for a while. There are constant adjustments.
