Uhm, no. 1/2 cup of rolled oats dry is 150 calories. That picture is NOT 9 calories. Also, who eats 1-2 Tablespoons of oatmeal for breakfast?
I will go MAKE 9 calories worth of rolled oats and take a picture of it if I need to. According to MFP it's .45 Tbsps.

Don't eat back your exercise calories.
find a healthy goal weight based on BMI
multiply that by 10
eat that many calories
If someone is starting off very heavy (more than 100 lb overweight), so that method #1 would result in a drop of more than 1000 cal per day, they do this:
multiply your current weight by 10
subtract 1000
eat that many calories
as you lose weight, adjust calories downward until you get to (healthy goal weight) x 10
When I first started, method #2 was about 100 cal more than method #1 for me.
Now I'm using the simple way, though I'm thinking about tweaking it down by 50 cal or so. Still a healthy goal weight.
Note that this is for _losing_ weight.
Maintaining will take 13 - 15 cal per lb, depending on activity level.0
