    I also recommend a book by Michael Pollan called Food Rules: An Eater's Manual. Research real food and cut packaged, processed food out of your diet. The foods packaged as healthy, fat free, cholesterol free, etc, are not healthy. They have more crap you can't pronounce than actual food. Don't go crazy on organic everything if you can't afford it. Organic is probably better but at the end of the day, buy the fruits and veggies you can afford. I am a believer in organic meats whenever possible when you are also feeding children due to the hormones and antibiotics but I don't get too wound up about GMO as there is no evidence that GMO produce is harmful or in anyway less healthful than non-GMO.

    I usually eat about 250-350 for breakfast =) I leave a good portion for nighttime =)

    Me too! I don't usually go over 300, and I don't normally go over 400 for lunch. Dinner is lite, then I have some sugar free pudding and my night is complete, I don't normally go over my calorie limit I just keep making healthier choices!

    It really depends on what you plan to eat for the rest of the day. A normal breakfast for me is maybe 300 calories and if I plan on eating a big dinner, I eat a smaller lunch and snack on carrots. I do not recommend eating less than 200 calories for breakfast unless you snack a lot throughout the day.

    I like having around 500 calories for breakfast. I look forward to it and I think it helps me from feeling deprived and staves off the munchies.

    My usual breakfast is 700 calories (daily intake is about 2000) with around 45 grams of protein. Anything less and I'm dragging all day. I also eat less throughout the day when I eat a big breakfast. It's like if I don't eat enough in the morning I'm trying to over compensate for it the rest of the day.

    Edit: Typo.
