Raise your hand if you are one of those who couldn’t take their mornings as complete without a cup of “sinangag” or fried rice or a steaming cup of white rice with their favorite ulam : fried egg, fried danggit, corned beef, hotdog, etcetera! That’s how it is at home, specially for my husband. My kids and I can live without rice (only on breakfast) but still, the choices we have for quick breakfasts are very limited.
Calorie Counting
Quaker Oats, our favorite quickcooking oats are here to save us all from the bad effects of too much calories from white rice (hahah). Yes, since I’ve started calorie counting, I became conscious of the number of calories of everything I eat. It’s not that difficult once you started doing it. And I found out that 1 cup of white rice has 206 calories already, plus the calories from your ulam.
Quaker Oats has only 133 calories per 35g (1/4 cup uncooked). Considered as a super grain, Quaker Oats contains fiber to help keep us full longer, protein to help give us energy, and beta-glucan* to help lower cholesterol for a much a healthier heart.
*Beta-Glucan is a soluble fiber that is naturally present in the Bran of Oats. Quaker whoe grain oats are a source of Beta-Glucan which help reduce cholesterol. Amount recommended for cholesterol lowering effect is 3g/day. Beta-Glocan from oats can help reduce blood cholesterol levels if its accompanied by a diet low in saturated fat and low cholesterol.

Quaker Oatsilog
Quaker Oats introduces the Oatsilog recipes which should be loved surely by Silog (sinangag+itlog) lovers. Using any of the variant of Quaker Oats (red or blue), we can make different kinds of “Silog” breakfasts using a pan or a mug for the microwave, in just a couple of minutes. I’ve made my own Silog recipe using my favorite ingredients for breakfast + 3 more recipes I learned from the Quaker Oatsilog cooking demo I attended. Enjoy your brand new and healthier breakfasts!
