Frequently Asked Questions
Is 150g enough for 3 adults?
150g provides approximately 50g per person (about 190 calories from oats alone). When combined with milk, fruit, and nuts, this creates a balanced 300-350 calorie breakfast. Individual needs vary based on activity level and dietary goals. Athletes or very active individuals may prefer larger portions.
How much liquid for cooking 150g oats?
Use 600-750ml liquid (2.5-3 cups). For creamy texture: 1:4 ratio (600ml). For looser consistency: 1:5 ratio (750ml). Steel-cut oats need more: 900ml (1:6 ratio). Adjust to personal preference.
Can I prep 150g for the whole week?
150g covers 3 days optimally (50g per day). For a full work week (5 days), use 250g. Cooked oats last 5 days refrigerated, so Sunday prep works for Monday-Friday breakfasts.
What's the difference between 150g rolled oats and steel-cut?
Same weight (150g), but different volumes: rolled oats = 1.67 cups, steel-cut = 0.88 cups. Steel-cut oats are denser and require longer cooking (20-30 min vs 5-10 min for rolled). Nutritionally similar, but steel-cut has a chewier texture and lower glycemic index.
