I do this, or sometimes grits, and usually add a protein shake or a bunch of canadian bacon.

i usually have one of the following during the week:

can of tuna or salmon and a peice of fruit
billtong (jerky), dried fruit and nuts
pure whey protein powder in water and some fruit

i sometimes have some other things which most people wouldnt consider breakfast (or food) like stir fried minced kangaroo with onions and blueberries.

on weekends its something special which lately has been comprising of lots of scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and perian feta

A slice of whole wheat toast with some peanut butter, a cup of cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt), and a glass of juice (cran-raspberry or OJ) is my typical breakfast three or four days a week.

The other few days I go with a power breakfast of a can of Coke and a stick of butter.

Didn't realize "steel cut oats' would generate so many questions.

I don't cook in a crook pot, though you can soak them 3 water to 1 oats overnight to take cooking time down to 10 minutes, but that isn't what the OP was asking. I just cook them at night, then refridgerate. They heat up in 2 minutes and keep well for 4-5 days.

Oats in whole form are called Oat groats and sort of look like plump rice. You can cook and eat those too, or soak overnight to make muesli. Steel cut is just a less processed form than rolled oats. Once you see a whole oat groat you can easily visualize that grain being "diced" into small pieces for steel cut, or rolled out for "rolled" oats.

Cool. I'm lazy so whenever I make steel cut oats, I throw them in the crock pot overnight. I know you are supposed to pan brown them in butter before you cook them, for a more nutty flavor, but I don't care.

You may have a different definition of "cooked" if you're cooking those old fashioned oats in 1-minute. The old fashioned oats don't come out right in 1 minute for me whenever I tried.

I eat the same Quaker Oats brand, but specifically the one labeled "Quick- 1 minute" and I nuke that in the microwave for 1:30, which come out to my liking.
