Ok at a glance here is what I see. You are eating a small amount of food that contains very few usefull nutrients, you may not realize it but your sugar intake is very high and you are not combining foods properly. Here is why I say this. Cheerios are one of those cerials that from looking at the box appears to be healthy and I suppose if you compare it to captain crunch it is but you could do much better. If you look at the ingredient list you will see that it lists 20 g carbs but further down it lists 17g other carbs totalling 37 g. It lists 1 g sugar but in the ingredient list it shows modified corn starch another form of sugar not included in the 1g listed, this is for 1 serving which is one cup, now put how much you eat in a bowl and get out your measuring cup and let's see how many servings you are eating, add this to an orange (high in fructose, a natural sugar) a few grapes, more fructose, an apple, more fructose, a banana more fructose and the tsp of sugar you add and most likely there is sugar in your bread choices and definately in your milk, so you are on a sugar diet. lol
