Comparing Oatmeal to Other Grains. Although grains in general are fairly high in carbohydrates, oats are relatively low compared to many of the others. A cup of cooked oatmeal checks in at just over 28 grams of carbs. By comparison a cup of whole-grain brown rice contains over 51 grams of carbs and a cup of cooked bulgur wheat has 34 grams of carbohydrates. Those figures represent more grams of carbohydrates per cup than you'll find in oats, which is why oat flour is often incorporated into low-carb baking mixes instead of wheat or rice flours.
