Why do bodybuilders eat Oats

[Bleu]

I would have thought just protein, and low fat low calorie type stuff?

Oats are really high in cals aren't they?

Surely they can't burn them all off doing a few weights here and there

It takes a lot of calories to be big, that's why lots of bodybuilders are fat fuckers. They kid themselves that they are in a bulking phase and will cut whe they need to. Which never happens.

Oatmeal or porridge is good for you basically, low in fat high in energy.

I'm genuinely interested. I do shit loads more cardio than weights these days, bikes and running also just got the insanity workout which I do sporadically as its hard to do daily with everything else going on.
Are the oats you eat used as a slow release energy or after training as part of recovery.

Good and bad carbohydrates -

Good releases energy slowly

Bad releases it all in one go



If you don't use it, the body stores it, so Good carbs are better, oats are in the good carbs camp.




(I think - someone will correct me if I'm wrong, I'm sure)
