McDonald's oatmeal contains 32g of sugar(w/brown sugar, 18g (w/o brown sugar)! I checked the package of my son's Kroger brand apple cinnamon oatmeal, and it only contains 10g sugar. This product is not low enough to be part of any diabetics daily diet plan. I will continue to make my own version of this at home at a lot lower sugar and calorie content. The taste was not as good or as high in fiber as using the the Kroger Active Lifestyle brand and just adding my own craisins to it.Tina Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097867844487511189.post-17054650698703409452011-01-13T15:44:38.025-05:002011-01-13T15:44:38.025-05:00I fell in love with their oatmeal so much I decide...I fell in love with their oatmeal so much I decided to start making my own which tastes just as good, if not better, and is cheaper! :) I use the less caloric version of maple and brown sugar oatmeal (1 pk), add some green and red apples, craisins, and golden raisins! YUM YUM! I make it at work EVERY morning and it has helped me maintain my caloric intake as well as save a few bucks! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097867844487511189.post-89432425377970058382010-12-12T09:35:16.458-05:002010-12-12T09:35:16.458-05:00According to the my packages (bob's redmill an...According to the my packages (bob's redmill and irish oats) you will get 200 Calories from 1/2 cup (dry- before cooking).<br /><br />31g sugar = ~120Calories<br /><br />I can easily see McDonald's tweaking the recipe to make sure the item has more sweet and less oats to appeal to consumer desires. This means that McDonald's oatmeals would likely lose the benefits of oats (fiber, nutrition, satiety, starch (not sugar) for energy)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097867844487511189.post-58383519160771498082010-06-23T11:32:42.209-04:002010-06-23T11:32:42.209-04:00Yeah, but here's the trick.

I realize that this might be too much sugar for some diets.
