Answers:
It's slow digesting so it will take a while. Try not to add any fats to it, because that would just slow it down even moreHealth Question & Answer

quite long... its a low GI food so releases energy slowly throughout the day (i'm guessing it would take about 5 hours.?.?)

you can make it easier to digest by soaking the oats in water overnight.. this allow the breakdown of chemicals in the oatmeal which inhibit its digestion.

as for working out.. just do it when you feel not too full to work out... maybe don't eat too much oat meal before you workout... and then have the rest after you workout it your still hungryHealth Question & Answer
