I really had no idea how much I was overeating until I actually started to measure my food. The bowl of cereal was a real eye opener.

I "measure" my food, too.... but I don't get wrapped in the "Cup" size that the nutritionist advocated. Instead I count grams of protein, and the calories second. Going for nutrition, and keep calories at what your body needs seems to work for me. One of my wife's frozen pork and hamburger meatballs will cause discomfort (too dry), while I can eat a full can of drained green beans (3.5 cups, 70 calories) with no problems. I think everyone has to find

what works for them, while keeping within the guidelines laid out by the

doctor and nutritionist.

KC.. did your doctor advise you against eating cereal? Mine did... do i still eat it... yes, but i buy the wheat thins and i have four...with a splash of milk... i do this to help with constipation sometimes.

my size pretty much stays the same... different thing "hang around" longer than others...

My nut recommends cereal for the fiber and vitamin benefits. Just pick a healthy one. I eat Kashi Heart to Heart or Quacker Oat Squares. I usually eat it dry as a snack for the crunch.
