I think I'm going to switch to oatmeal, oat bran and applesauce is just TOO bland.
What about snacking.
What would be a good substitute for Oat Bran and applesauce there?
The only reason I eat it is because it used to really help me get a bowel movement.
BUT, since it is all high in the GI index carbs, and so bland, it tastes poor and makes me VERY hungry.

Try mixing some protein powder with your oatmeal (might make it more tasty too), more protein will help you be less hungry. Nuts are a good option too.
I usually eat oatmeal for breakfast, and within an hour I eat a snack simply because the oatmeal really isn't that filling. It does wonders to settle the stomach in the morning, and is nutritious so it's worth it. For a snack I'll have a banana, or applesauce (flavored ones by Motts), hard boiled egg whites, home made muffins, pita bread & soy cream cheese (light peanut butter is also good, or hummus), carrots, etc.
Good thing about oatmeal if you get tired of the taste, just switch to another flavour. There's lots more choice.
Enjoy,

I do overnight oatmeal -- add regular oats to the same amount of soy milk and throw in the fridge overnight. I add some brown sugar, dried cranberries, cinnamon, whatever sounds good. Pack it to work in the morning. To me, it's better texture than instant.

I use quick oats, not instant oatmeal, because the instant kind(the one in individual packages) seems to have way too much sugar for my taste. I just boil some water/milk and put it in... it's ready in a matter of minuter (just let it sit, it's not like cream of wheat where you actually have to work to get it ready)

My "first" breakfast every morning is a smoothie made with vanilla rice milk, rice protein powder, a banana, and frozen peaches and strawberries. A very easy, safe way to get IF!!
For snacks I like to eat artichoke hummus or bean dip with corn chips, any of Heather's breads, apples, cherry tomatoes...

OK.
I went to Trader Joe's today.
I bought Muffins.
I am confused about Muffins and cereal in general.
I recall reading and being told High Fiber cereal is bad for us, because it is like raw lettuce, too hard for us to handle.
Nonethless I have had enough of Oat Bran and keep being told about bran muffins.
So I'm confused.
1)
Are Bran Flakes or Bran Muffins good?
If not what Cereal and Muffins are?
2)
What about the muffins I bought, are these safe, or are they likely to backfire like whole wheat bread?
Carrot Ginger Oat Bran Muffins
Ingedients: Water, White Grape Juice, Rye Flour, Oats, Oat Bran, Carrots, Canola Oil, Ginger, Baking Soda, Spices, Salt.
Calories 150
Fat calories 35
Total Carb 29
Dietary Fiber 4g
Sugars 9g
-I thought it was safe because it was called Oat Bran Muffins, and I have been having Oat Bran with Applesauce.
-Further, it has Rye Flour listed before Oats and Oat Bran.
-What confuses me is it lists dietary fiber at 4g, but no solubale fiber, only sugars at 9g.
-Is that considered solubale fiber, and if not, wouldn't this fall out of Heather's proportion making it not safe?
Thanks.
