I have not weighed myself recently, but I was around 210lbs last I checked. When I first started with this employer about 6 years ago, (doing a different, but still physical job), I was 260, started cycling again a couple of years ago. So, I expect to drop through the clyde barrier soon, if not already.

Darnit... I want some fried eggs now. The way I used to eat them in college, with toast and runny yolks and Vietnamese chili-garlic paste.

Ahh, thanks for that.
I'll look into other forms of oats as I am using the instant kind (although not flavored except I add a bit of cinnamon).
At the suggestion of someone else I have already looked for steel cut oats and can't seem to find the anywhere around here so I might have to leave that.
Oh, and what is 'Canadian bacon'? Whenever I have bacon it's always short cut. Which is basically a normal rasher with the fatty tail bit removed (more meaty goodness).

Why are you being so hostile? While I think that bacon and eggs isn't a bad idea if you can "afford" it, unlike my grandfather, I think it would get boring after a while, although as a once a week thing, it's probably okay. One way to help it though, fry the bacon without adding fat, pour off the fat before cooking the eggs, in the same pan, what was common in granddaddy's day was to save the fat, and use it for cooking other things, rather then buying or making other fats like butter. Although uncommon in cities in the last 70 years, in grand-dads day, anything that could be reused was, anything that could be repaired was repaired, and anything that could be recycled was recycled.

Try your oats raw (like a horse!) with some milk and maybe sprinkle a bit of granola on it. I find it keeps from digesting as quickly, and it's really pretty tasty.
(Oh yeah, eggs... they're good but cook 'em -- better yet, have a spoon of fat free cottage cheese.)

Steel cut are also known as Irish oats. I boil a cup of milk, drop in 1/3 cup of oats and simmer for 13 minutes (I like mine a bit crunchy)- I splash in a bit of milk, flax seed and blueberries and eat.
I usually save the eggs for weekends but I did the Southbeach diet a while ago and it took a long time for me to even look at an egg after the first 2 weeks of that.

I'm just now exploring the world of oats now that I have time to cook them, the site above has a store locator so you can find them.

That link is to the movie. You want this one:

There's also a more heavily-processed form sold in a round hammish-looking loaf thing. You often find slices of that on fast food breakfast sandwiches.
