Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN, registered dietitian and founder of Isabel Smith Nutrition, told Eat This, Not That!, "When we choose premixed oatmeal, we typically get less fiber because the grain is generally more processed, and more added sugar."

Getting enough fiber plays an important role in weight loss--and limiting added sugars where you can is also crucial (especially if you want to achieve sustainable, longterm weight loss). With that in mind, avoiding pre-mixed oatmeal might be in your best interest.
That does not mean you will need to spend a ton of time on your breakfast to make it healthy.
