Pro cyclists aren’t normal people. 1000 calories in a bowl of oatmeal isn’t a big deal for someone burning an extra 4000 calories per day from training!

There is lower calorie oatmeal that's still good... Why would you want 1000 calories in one bowl? That’s well over half a normal person’s calorie intake for an entire day.

All the liquid you need is from the blueberries, no need to add water or reheat. You can stir in 1-2T of whey protein powder, too, and then top with stevia, agave or maple syrup to taste. A bit of lemon is nice, too. Add more blueberries for a dish more like blueberry cobbler, more oats for a granola texture. Works great with other berries, too.

I do not add sugar or fruit. I add cinnamon and a little maple syrup. I cannot combine fruit with a carb product; so cinnamon and maple syrup were recommended by a dietician!! Plus that way of eating oatmeal is for a person who wants to get rid of some extra pounds, a Fibromyalgia person, and someone who needs to be on a food combination diet.

The vegetables that are difficult to eat raw should be steamed until al dente, or used in a vegetable soup. Never, ever use the microwave to cook or reheat as it destroys a lot of nutrition in foods.

One thing people should keep in mind though is that they want to consume oatmeal that is sugar-free. I know many of my clients believe that eating a serving of oatmeal prepackaged with maple and sugar is a great way to start off their day. Unfortunately, that is not the type of oatmeal we're talking about. That being said, you can easily sweeten up that plain oatmeal with fresh fruit, as you've mentioned. This combination is a powerful tool in health and as an added bonuse, weight loss. Oatmeal is truly one of the kings of nutrition, and you’ve given many of the main reasons why.
