Not really cooking - Overnight Oatmeal

I have now made it a routine to have overnight oats (oatmeal) as my workweek breakfast for almost a month now.

A few observations.

1. It is easy to add all sorts of stuff to the overnight oats, but it also is easy to make it calorically heavy from doing that.

2. Fiber is magical and I have noticed that I have had a reduction in bloat.

3. I compared a few different oats and have found that rolled oats are my preferred type. In my experience, it is worth getting 'quality' over the cheapest for mouth-feel.

I have overnight oats for breakfast for several years now, and 'rye bread' for lunch (whole kernel cooked or steamed 'bread' that isn't risen). This feels very good for my guts. When I get other ('normal') bread somewhere, especially 'white bread', immediately I feel 'bloated' after eating that!

Something that I have observed recently.

For texture, I enjoy rolled oats that are 'thick' or 'extra 'thick' in my overnight oats. They don't turn to mush and is much more pleasing on the palate.
