What makes oats so powerful?
The 389 calories per 100 g refers to dry oats. A normal serving is about 40 g dry, which is around 155 calories, and it swells to a much larger bowl once cooked in water. Cooking in milk or adding sugar, nuts or honey is where the real total builds up. Oats contain beta-glucan, a soluble fibre that has an approved health claim for lowering cholesterol in the EU and US.
Weigh oats dry and log the toppings separately. Overnight oats and porridge use the same dry weight.
