What is Oats
Oat is a type of cereal that is a whole grain product. Its content is quite rich. It consists of 19% quality protein, 62% quality carbohydrate, 7% fat and 12% fiber. Don’t confuse oats with sugar-filled cornflakes sold in grocery stores. I wouldn’t want to give and advertise a brand here, but I guess no other than Eti sells this product properly. It is sold under the name of “meat littatif oatmeal” in an orange package. It is consumed by mixing an average of 35 grams of oats in 1 cup of milk.
Why Oats?
The quality complex carbohydrate it contains is the best thing that works for us. It is completely suitable for our diet because it does not lower or raise blood sugar suddenly like simple carbohydrates. It lowers cholesterol, it also provides long-term energy, keeps you full, and meets some of the carbohydrate we need to take daily. Not to mention the protein amount and fiber content!
Why Do Athletes Use Oats?
As we said, athletes always need quality carbohydrates. Therefore, consuming oats every day will both close our carbohydrate deficit and give us energy and strength in a healthy way. Athletes can mix oats with milk for breakfast or snacks. You can even mix it with whey protein in a mixer and take it. Oatmeal is ideal for both losing weight and gaining weight. While those who want to gain weight can take oats as an additional meal with a good nutrition program, those who want to lose weight can buy oats instead of 1 meal. Since athletes consume a lot of meat, digestive problems occur especially in athletes who do not eat vegetables. Thanks to the fiber content of oats, it has great benefits to the intestines and digestive system.
Why Does Oats Taste Bad?
Actually it’s not bad, you just aren’t used to it. After getting used to it, you can even become able to eat it like a bean. Many athletes unfortunately complain about this, some eat hard and some cannot eat at all. There are easy ways to eat this. First of all, after mixing the oats with milk, adding some honey into it and waiting for 10 minutes makes the oats like cotton and makes it easier to eat. You can also mix it with yoghurt, mix it with a mixer and prepare different desserts, mix it with eggs and cook in a pan. So the method is very. As long as you start, you shape the rest according to your taste.
