Can I have oatmeal for a snack?

I don't see why not. If I were you, that'd be my only grain for the day, if you're still doing just one per day.
I put cinnamon and sweet 'n low in mine, and make it with milk.
Speaking of oatmeal... I was in the grocery store yesterday and I saw that the oatmeal I bought the previous week had been 100% natural, but there's another kind - same brand - that's labeled "old fashioned." I picked them up and compared nutrition labels because I thought I was supposed to be eating the "old fashioned" after all, but the labels are identical. The 100% natural takes only a minute in the microwave, whereas the "old fashioned" takes 5-6. I ended up with the 100% natural.
That's just me! Hope this helps! :)

It's true that both contain 100% rolled oats, but the longer the oatmeal takes to cook, the longer it takes to digest, because it is not processed as finely. Next time get the old fashioned.

Thanks! That's what I decided to do yesterday - I was starving. I had one serving, though I had to spread eating it over a little while. After about half, I was full. Later when I was hungry again, I went back. I mixed steel cut oats with some Splenda, cinnamon, and soy milk. It was very yummy.
