Is too much oats bad?

    I have a very basic diet that doesn't change much.

    Trying to get a lot of calories in is tough so I have 3 smoothies during the day (morning, after gym/afternoon, before bed) with 200g of oats in each. Is there anything wrong with 600g per day?

    I know I don't get in exactly 600g because some of the smoothie stays in the blender.

    I'd be more worried about how much sugar is in those 3 smoothies a day.

    Everything when haved too much is bad, Oat meal are good but you should have timely pattern to eat like in the morning or in the evening.So eat wisely and no food will damage your health.

    0.4g per 40g serving. So in 600g that's 6g

    The only other thing in the smoothie is water and whey which I know has sugar too.

    Pasta, rice & chicken, potatoes. All spread out in between the smoothies.

    The usual stuff, very boring.

    Throw what you eat into something like MyFitnessPal. You'll soon find out if you're eating too much of anything.

    ok, so it's a protein shake with oats thrown in then, fair enough.
    when I see the word smoothie, I always think of those sugar-laden abominations.

    Yes, a lot of oats because I found it hard to eat so much calories.

    I keep it cheap and simple. No fruity/peanut butter smoothies for me.
