Lessee, there's the imitation part, such as rice crispies or other puffed up junk in a box; then there are the real parts, such as eggs, toast or oatmeal or pancakes, OJ or coffee, bacon or sausage, and a bag of cookies (oatmeal or PB) to hold ya over until lunch.

Fake food and serving sizes fit for a malnourished mouse are for those who don't do much. Anyone who actually works, and especially who works a good part of the day outside this time of year, NEEDS substantial calories, and a good portion of those in good (HDL) fats, like from mostly grass fed meats.

Of course, some depends on your metabolism too.

Back when I was married to a chimney (cig smoker), occasionally I'd come down with bronchitis. Went to our doc, who as a routine question asked what I had for breakfast. Being sick and a bit off my feed, I told him "an 8 egg omlette with cheese and ham, 4 slices of toast with butter and jam, a large glass of OJ, and a 10" chocolate chip cookie for desert". He asked if that was normal fare, and I told him sometimes I'd have 8 or so 6" whole grain pancakes with butter and real maple syrup and a few scrambled eggs, or a big (12oz) bowl of oatmeal with butter, raisins, honey and whole milk. He recommended I get my cholesterol checked. I did, and it came back as a 99. He was flummoxed. Haven't had bronchitis since the chimney left for someone else who smoked, nor had my cholesterol checked again.

I have gained some weight since high school (about 40 years ago) - all of 6 pounds, and I was thin even then. If I had to live on "recommended serving sizes", I'd fly off in a stiff breeze.

Rule #1: eat healthy - what you eat has as much effect on health and weight as how much you eat.

Rule #2: get outside and get plenty of exercise.

Gotta go hike up the hill (~500' through 2' of fresh drifted snow) with chicken feed, then another trip with water. If I'm not back in 20 minutes, send a St. Bernard.
