    Home made! But yes, you can make it lots of different ways by adding stuff in :)

    50g of porridge with 2 medium egg whites is something like 14g of protein for 170 calories - what else is that filling? Anyway, it's just like creamy porridge :beer:

    • Take 50g of finest, cheapest porridge oats (don't use fancy diamond cut oats picked by flower wearing virgins on the first full moon of the quarter, we're using a microwave for this)!
    • Bung in roughly 1 1/2 times the weight of the oats in water.
    • Microwave on full power for one minute. Stir and add enough water to maintain a smooth consistency.
    • Microwave on full power for one minute. Stir and add a little more water (smooth not runny).
    • Stir in two free range egg whites (2/3 of the protein of the eggs for essentially no fat), microwave on full power for a final minute.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Tastes much nicer when done like this:
    porridge oats
    spoonful of sugar
    lashings of semi skimmed milk


    Serve with a big pouring of double cream (single will do at a push) and a spoonful of Demerara sprinkled over the top


    Eat joyfully and don't think about that the scales at SW will show a gain!!:rotfl:

    A plastic Jock GG? Pshaw! I'm an Early Scot Retiree Extreme - I care not for your flouncy pinch of salt! Milk? You bourgeios ponce! :rotfl:

    Porridge is one of those few foods that should be treated like fuel.

    In any case, fancy porridge would feature milk, cream, raisins, pumpkin seeds, cinammon and maple syrup.
  • Morning Mr E, I definitely fancy porridge with cream and maple syrup etc rather than egg white :rotfl::rotfl:
