Of course steel cut/regular oats are not more nutritious than instant–the only difference is how much the oat is cut and processed. I could be wrong, but I believe the difference is that steel cut and regular oats have more fiber than instant. Everyone needs more fiber.

That seemed to be the consensus. That Steel cut oats were more filling for people. The more you have to “break it down” on your own, the more it stays in your blood stream.

I definitely think that steel cut oats are more filling, and to me seem to keep me satisfied longer. Probably has something to do with exposed surface area. Technically they’re nutritionally identical, just like whole fruits and vegetables vs. pureed – one is just more satisfying.

Funny you should ask Liz, because Dr. Oz has helped spread the myth. You can’t just look at the label and know. Gram for gram it’s the same, but steel cut is “heavier” so it looks like more nutrients… you know what I mean.

Seriously??? Steel cut is not as healthy as instant? That is weird. I wonder what Dr. Oz has to say about that one. And I’m running to walmart TODAY to get pumpkin oatmeal… I think I could be addicted to that one. And it’s fun seeing your face! You look like you are all having a wonderful time!
