Assuming that makes 3 servings of oatmeal, that is about 270 calories per serving. If eaten as is about 30 calories less than Mickey D's, if eaten with milk a bit more than Mickey D's. But undoubtedly yummier.

I checked the nutritionally info on the McD's oatmeal. Not great when it's loaded--it's heavy on the carbs
Um...oatmeal is a carb. I would expect it to be heavy on carbs.
I'm not trying to be contentious, and I have no special love for McDonald's, but I am confused by the discourse that labels it not healthy.

I actually am as well. Granted, it's got more sugar (in the fruit) and fat than *I* add to my oatmeal at home but that's because when I eat it at home it's austere fuel full of fiber and I don't care to make it otherwise. Also I think sweetened dried cranberries are gross, so I don't add them. But it's a fairly healthy breakfast, honestly.

Because books.
Not all healthy food is low in calories, is the thing. It's in how you use them, and what else you're eating.

I think it's just because it's twice the service I'm used to. When I was on the GD diet, I could only have 45 carbs per meal, so that would leave this out for me. Even with their cream, it's still only 4.5g of fat, which is pretty good. I think it has more nutritional bang for the calorie buck than most of what's on McD's menu so I won't quibble.
I'm putting some steel cut oats in the slow cooker tonight, though. I have no cherries (not even frozen) but I do have fresh blueberries.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Exactly. I think the quibble over McD's oatmeal is a result of equating "low calorie" with "healthy".

Why, that's why those 80 calorie soup meals are the most healthy things you can eat, right?

3 more hours in the yard. so much tired, it is actually eating me. I will sleep very well tonight. Sadly in those 3 hours, all I cleared for the flower bed was an area 2' x 6'. Reclaiming space from lawn by hand is hard and slow.
