Weekly Nutrition Tip - Why Choose Oats
This week’s tip is about using oats to help get some extra calories at breakfast. This tip is especially geared towards those of you that are in a bulking phase.
Why Choose Oats
by Dr. John Berardi
If you’re looking to gain mass and have a good carbohydrate tolerance, place a bowl of fiber-rich, low-GI rolled oats along with ½ scoop of vanilla protein powder, frozen mixed berries, pineapple and a small quantity of mixed nuts right next to your omelet. This is a muscle building breakfast that’s hard to beat.
However, if you tend to hold a lot of body fat, just stick with protein, good fats, and veggies for breakfast. Save the non-fruit and veggie carbs till after exercise only - yes, even oatmeal.

Good tip! I used to be a fanatic about this stuff and am trying to get back into it. These tips really help.
Thank you for the information on oats for breakfast. I’m always looking for something filling that will give me the energy I need for the day. I’m not really into the protein diets so this is always a challenge. There are just so many sugary and fattening breakfast foods that make the choice difficult as well. I have tried eating fruit and yogurt for breakfast but I’m always hungry way before lunchtime.
Wafer Thin Girl,
I agree that way too many breakfast foods have way too much sugar. I’ve also tried the ‘fruit and yogurt’ breakfast but it never quite does it for me either!
Thanks for the tip. I will try to mix the oats in with my shake. I never seem to get enough protein no matter what. Reading these tips will help me try a little harder.
Recepie looks good but won’t think that it would be as tasty as pizzaaa.
Great tips. That recipe sounds great.
I’m a huge fan of oats, so I think I’ll try it out.
I have some rolled oats and eat them several times per week for breakfast, but I think that I do tend to hold on to body fat, so I am going to stick to the eggs and smoothies for breakfast. I’ll probably bring the oats with me to work for lunch, though. It’s an easy meal. I can just bring a packet and add water.
Interesting tip, but should there really be pineapple in it? Way to much empty carbs…

Oats are super nutritious. I love them. Best part is you can get all your nutrients with one bowl of oats with few more ingredients. Thanks for the post.

Hi, I love your article. What a great way to help gain mass! Have you checked out the fat burning techniques at this website for The Fat Burning Secret Thanks again for the great article!
I’ve found this to be true for me. When I found out how healthy oatmeal is for you I jumped on board. But put on the pounds, went back to the first type of breakfast and was fine. However, the rest of my family eats oatmeal every day with getting all the health benefits and none of the lbs.
i think that oats help alot to build muscle mass
Yeah its a good view otherwise i am going for fruits for breakfast..
Great tip! I love the taste of oats as well. Sounds like it would help.
When I was a canoe guide many years ago we’d always start the day with rolled oats. The kids would canoe all morning without getting hungry. Try some oats with nutmeg or cinnamon on top.

I love oats. Have been eating oats for the past 5 years.
Personally I recommend my patients put on a little weight before an operation because they generally will loose a little bit during the recovery process. People undergoing pain eat a little less. Great article, thanks John. Its nice to see advice kept simple… the way it should be.
I love oats but my stomach just cant handle them. is there some other way I could do this?
