@twistylittlepassages@weirder.earth i think, passing by, i may be able to tell you why!

Oatmeal A is you loading up carbs with more carbs - oatmeal plus fruit, honey, etc. that punts up your blood sugar and then punts it back down again, leaving you hungry.

Oatmeal B is introducing a fat - butter - so once your body goes through the carbs, it has something more to work on, and your blood sugar doesn't rollercoaster as much.

if you find yourself missing sweet - try packing it full of nuts :D
