Oatmeal Comparison - Bariatric Advantage Vs. Quaker Instant

I need to lower my cholesterol (even after losing this much weight, it is still over the 200 mark) so I wanted to added oatmeal into my diet for the next three months, to see if that helps.

I had Quaker instant packages in maple and brown sugar (my pre-sleeve favorite)

Its nutrition is:

160 calories

2 g fat

33 g carbohydrate

4 grams of Protein.

I also ordered som Maple and Brown Surgar oatmeal packets from Bariatric Advantage website.

Its nutrition is:

100 calories

1 g Fat

8 g carbohydrate

14 grams of protein.

I ate the Quaker on Saturday and the Bariatric Advantage this morning to compare.

I probably preferred the Quaker's taste (I would rate it a 9 on a 1-10 scale) over the

Bariatric Advantage (rated a 7 on a 1-10 scale). But for the difference in protein, carbs and calories - I am choosing the Bariatric Advantage to be my Breakfast oatmeal.

Anyone else have any good sources for high protein oatmeal? I got some ground Flax Seed, and I am going to stir a couple of tablespoons of that into the oatmeal to help with my Quest for lower cholesterol.
