[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 83686, member: 12578"] I'm not Scottish and definitely no expert in cooking porridges but I did do some research in the gi tables a while ago. All (normal )porridge has about the same carb amount. I wonder what actually is in the 'low carb' version. There are two pages of them in the GI data base some slow cooked, some microwaved, some with milk and some with water. Its preprocessing also varies tremendously (steel cut, rolled, husked, large flake small flake etc. The Gi varies from 40-80. I've copied a few examples from my previous post (unfortunately it doesn't appear that quaker oats has been tested under its name) Instant oat cereal porridge prepared with water [b]gi 83 [/b]gl 30 Hot oat cereal cocoa flavor prepared with 125 mL skim milk [b]gi 40 [/b]gl 9 Porridge, jumbo oats (Sainsbury's, UK), consumed with 125 mL semi-skimmed milk [b]gi 40[/b] gl 9 Porridge, small oats (Sainsbury's, UK), consumed with 125 mL semi-skimmed milk [b]gi 61[/b] gl 14 (med) Portion size matters a great deal. The portion sizes in the two 'instant' examples were 30g each and contained 23 and 26 g carbs The 2 Sainsbury's ones had 40g of oats and the carb count (including milk) was 22g I eat 40g each morning, it doesn't look that much before cooking but its enough for me but I have noticed that other people have much more. Normally it works fine unless I'm very sedentary that morning. (but that would be the same for anything) [/QUOTE]
