Hello all. I have a few questions that I hope you can help answer.
1. Is there any nutritional reason to cook oatmeal? I prefer to eat it uncooked in skim milk just like cold cereal. Is there any pros or cons to eating it "raw / uncooked"?
2. Will eating dinner just 1 hour before bedtime hinder fat loss if it is healthy food choices, under 400 calories and within my calorie limits for the day?
I hear a lot about not eating within a few hours of bed time in order to lose fat, however I am usually not hungry for dinner until about 9 or 9:30 pm.
3. On Saturdays, I either have a cheat meal (Mexican food or Pizza) OR I have 7-8 alcoholic drinks partying with friends. If they each total about 800 calories, is one any better or worse than the other (choosing the cheat meal or the night of drinking). I actually feel fatter for a couple of days following a big cheat meal, I don't feel this after a night of drinking without the cheat meal.
Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!
