Is It Flavored?

I'm not a fan of oatmeal, so I can't make any recommendations; however, I'm a brand new follower of Dr. Dean Ornish, who recommends oatmeal but warns: "Beware of flavored varieties -- they may be loaded with added fat." Check the ingredients on your oatmeal package and calculate the fat percentage:

Total grams of fat per serving times 9.
Divide that figure by the total calories per serving.

If the resulting figure is above 25%, it's too high in fat. And don't forget about the fat from whatever soy milk you add; you have to calculate that in with the oatmeal.

Re: Edamame is soy beans that are usually steamed, I think.
