Oatmeal never fills me up. I always want something else to eat. But a big bowl of cream of wheat satisfies my hunger. What's up with that.
Well, cream of wheat is usually enriched, so I wonder if your system is craving those extra vitamins :D - Jennifer Dittrich
Me too! Especially when I put chocolate in it. :) - Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart
Oatmeal never fills me up, either, but that's mainly because I refuse to eat it. I do love cream of wheat, though. - COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE

Lunch made everything better: saved for last the filet from the Omaha Steak gift my cousin sent for Xmas. Pan fried it, made a mushroom sauce, broccoli & cauliflower on the side. Tummy happy! - Starmama
(and it's been microwave all the meals over here for weeks. Actually cooking on the stovetop is quite an accomplishment for me these days.) - Starmama
For my family, it depends on what kind of oatmeal it is, how long it takes to cook. If it cooks in the bowl, instantly, it leaves us hungry again instantly. And the longer it takes to cook it, the longer it will be till we are hungry again. But there is a limit to how long any of us are willing to wait for a bowl of oatmeal. The 5 minute old fashioned oatmeal is that limit. If I were willing to take 30 minutes to make breakfast, I would choose something more awesome than oatmeal to eat, like yellow rice, spinach, eggs, and hot sauce. - April Russo (FForever!)
