This is a good point. Don't be afraid to add some oatmeal to that mix as well for the slow-burning carbs. Big breakfasts are king.

And it's true about the steel-cut, but it can be discouraging having to make it. Quick-cook oatmeal is still better than most prepared breakfast cereals, and instant only has sugar if you buy it that way. You can get plain instant oatmeal in bulk.

A tip about steel-cut oatmeal (which is one of the best substances on this planet, btw): cook up four servings and keep the leftovers in the fridge. Just be sure to eat it up on the consecutive days. I think you might even be able to freeze it. I don't see why not.
