Waaa! Three servings of Cinnamon Toast Crunch is 390 calories right there, and that’s without the milk and assuming you only ate 3/4 cup in one bowl. If you’re like me, one bowl is 2-3 times that much.
Breads and cereals are not the best choice for weight loss. Oatmeal is better.
The main thing about counting calories is portion size, and then after that, what type of food. You can eat all the salad and green beans you want, but watch out for the dressing. Butter, cheese, and pasta are also not great diet foods. Try eating more vegetables and at least some fruits.
Um, you can eat cereal and still lose weight but not that much! When i have cereal, i make sure that the first ingredient is a whole grain and that the cereal is not too high in sugar/carbs/fat. One good option is Kashi Heart to Heart Honey Oat. It tastes delicious, has 110 calories per 3/4 cup and is full of whole grains. I always measure out my cereal to make sure i only got 3/4 of a cup or less. I supplement it with some skim milk for protein and a piece of fruit. It only comes out to be like 200 calories, which is pretty good! Potatoes arent the best, theyre a starchy vegetable which can lead to weight gain so eat them in moderation. With the scrambled eggs, make sure the cheese you are using is low fat or fat free, cuz cheese is extremely high in fat! With a salad, make sure the dressing is fat free and low in calories and sugar. And make sure the pasta is whole grain or if it isnt, have a smaller portion.
Try these good nutrition meals. It helped me lose 70 lbs. in 9 months, along with a workout program to help you burn calories and build lean muscle which helps you burn more fat and lean down and tone up. Good luck and email me if you need additional info. I have my clients on this and they love it and lose an average of 2 lbs. a week along with their workouts that I have designed for them. It is important to eat for what you are going to be doing in the next 3 hours. No/ low carbs if you are going to nap , carbs if you are going to be able to wrok that energy off.

TIPS
Add any fresh herb to any dish to rev up the flavor or add 1 tbsp. Ms. Dash to rice or fish and poultry to give it a zing. You can even add some Cajun spice to just about anything if you like it hot. There is an also fresh squeeze of lime and lemon that takes the food to a tropical place. Don’t be afraid to mix and match your dishes as long as you stay within your counts for that meal and for that day. Remember that you need to eat for what you have coming up not for what you have already done. Say if you know you are going to take a nap after a meal then don’t eat so many carbs because you will not be burning them off.
