Hello everyone! Is my oatmeal ready yet? My first meal of the day is sometimes Oatmeal. Yep, that's what I said, I like Quakers Quick Oats for breakfast. Sometimes it's breakfast, my first meal can be as late as 11am or Noon. I guess noon would be considered lunch. I basically endeavor to eat only 2 meals a day. If I eat 3, those 3 meals will stay within my daily calorie allowance. My goal when counting calories is to not go over but always stay under or meet that goal.
Oatmeal is great for the body and friendly to my kidneys. I do not use salt in the preparation of my oatmeal. I don't use salt anymore in the preparation of any meal. I don't cook with salt anymore. Sodium is not my friend and I consume as little as possible, staying within or under my 2000mg daily limit. So much food naturally contains sodium, you wouldn't believe how much sodium is a part of the daily diet without manually adding salt to your food.
Oatmeal is tasty and it's also filling as well.
Oftentimes I prepare a small container of berries and sliced apples to put on top of my oatmeal. It's quite tasty and gives me an opportunity to add even more fruit to my daily diet. I also add different Oat milk based coffee creamers on top of the oatmeal. It gives you a sweet and flavorful bonus to the oatmeal. I stay away from dairy as much as possible. Like Almond Milk many dairy based coffee creamers contain carrageenan, a food emulsifier that can cause digestive issues for some. Lord knows I don't need anymore digestive issues at all! I just add 1-3 tablespoons and no more. I do have a sweet tooth and this is how I can satisfy that sweet craving without snacks etc.
