odds and ends...

Eating healthy is one of my little soap boxes. I must admit that sometimes I talk the talk more than walk the walk, but I am putting forth to do better.
I heard that steel cut oats were better for you than good old Quaker. Being the curious soul that I am I decided to look it up on the internet and this is what I found.
In a nutshell:
Quaker rolled oats: 1/2 cup, 150 calories, 3 g. fat, 27 g. Carbs. 4 g. fiber, 5 g. protein.
Organic Steel Cut Oats: 1/4 cup, 160 calories, 3 g. fat, 27 g. Carbs. 8 g. fiber, 6 g. protein.
Read the labels as this differs brand to brand.
I cook them in low calorie apple or cranberry juice.
That's my tip for the day.
Healthy eating to all.
