[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 291974"] Oakdaledave, your 40g of porridge oats is 24g of carb without the milk. As others have noted already, it's far too high for many on here. But I have porridge every morning by mixing the oats with ground almonds (often called Almond flour on here, but sold as ground almonds in the shops). In the main supermarkets they only sell them in small packets, which is good enough for you to test with. I use a mix of 10g Porridge Oats and 30g Almonds and it still tastes like Porridge, but with only 7.6g carbs (6g for he oats and 1.6g for the almonds). I can tolerate this quite happily and it is very good as a long lasting breakfast, though I often have Bacon and Egg too. I now buy the ground almonds by the kilo from an asian supermarket. You can also add a couple of teaspoons of coconut flour, which is cheap and expands to give you much more porridge, but makes it a bit gritty and a bit coconutty. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
