Cooked rolled oats — slow-digesting whole grain.

Beta-glucan fiber lowers cholesterol. Steel-cut, rolled, instant — all roughly the same macros, different textures.

Best for

  • training days and glycogen refill — 12g carbs / 100g
  • budget meals where cheap energy density matters

Watch out

  • portion creep — cooked volume looks bigger than the grams you meant
  • sauces and oils that turn a carb staple into a hidden calorie sink

How to log it

Weigh cooked oatmeal (cooked) if that is the state in the DB serving. 1 cup cooked (~234g) is the practical unit in the app.

Where it fits the day

Best next to a protein source. Alone it is fuel, not a complete macro plan.

Cooked, grilled, fried & breaded

The numbers above are for plain oatmeal (cooked). Cooking method and restaurant prep change the estimate — typical kcal per 100g:

Method
Typical kcal / 100g
Why it moves
Plain cooked oats
~71
Water-cooked; matches a plain log
With milk
~90–120
Dairy adds energy density
With nut butter / oil
~130–180
Fat add-ons dominate
Restaurant / café bowl
~120–200
Sugar, cream, toppings

These are typical ranges, not lab measurements. Restaurant recipes, oils, and sauces vary — treat them as logging estimates and edit if your plate looks heavier.
