Bye-Bye Gra**la
Cereal was my go-to breakfast all the way from elementary school through college. Although sweet, delicious, and easy, it was the worst breakfast for me. It's full of sugary carbs and **t much fiber or protein. I even went for the healthy stuff like Kashi's GoLean Crunch, gra**la, and Raisin Bran, but cereal is cereal, and it's **t the most nutritious choice on the menu. I started focusing on getting 13 to 20 grams of protein (http://www.popsugar.com/fitness/What-Eat-Breakfast-Lose-Weight-35829615), at least six grams of fiber, and 10 to 15 grams of healthy fats. So I ditched the boxes for a blender and started sipping on smoothies (http://www.popsugar.com/fitness/Dairy-Free-Smoothie-Recipes-39952316). I also do overnight oats (http://www.popsugar.com/fitness/Overnight-Oats-Recipes-40240933) because it reminds me of cereal - I'm huge fan of the brownie batter (http://www.popsugar.com/fitness/Chocolate-Overnight-Oats-40246344) and banana cashew (http://www.popsugar.com/fitness/Banana-Cashew-Overnight-Oats-40463726).

What Time Is It?
**t sure where I heard that you're supposed to eat first thing in the morning and to never skip breakfast, but I followed that advice diligently. I ate within a half hour after waking up, around 7:30, even if I wasn't hungry (99 percent of the time I wasn't). I'm convinced it turned on my hunger because by 9 a.m., I was starving, which translated to eating two breakfasts, and that meant twice the calories. ** wonder I wasn't slimming down! **w I wake up, get in a workout, and usually don't feel hungry until 9 or 10. Listening to my body's cues when it comes to breakfast has carried through to other parts of my day. I eat when I'm hungry, **t when the clock tells me to (http://www.popsugar.com/fitness/Should-I-Eat-Certain-Times-Lose-Weight-40845844).

Tablespoons Aren't Just For Baking
A**ther huge mistake? I never measured anything. When I was eating cereal, I grabbed a huge bowl - way bigger than your typical soup or salad bowl - and poured with abandon. I usually mixed three different cereals; added raisins, nuts, and blueberries or banana; and used Very Vanilla soy milk. Holy calories! ** joke - my bowl was easily pushing 600. Same went for oatmeal, yogurt with fruit and gra**la, toast, or smoothies. I got out my cups and spoons and measured everything, making sure it was around 400 calories. To this day, I still measure everything to avoid accidentally eyeballing higher amounts.
