    I am doing a calorie count plan. I had no idea how many calories I intake on a daily basis until I start using MFP. What seems to help me most is to keep track with the amount of calories I have for each meal and that gives me an idea of what my next meal may be. Breakfast is usually 1 slice of whole wheat bread, 1 tbs butter, package of oatmeal, bottle water w/Crystal light. It is not many calories and I am actually full when I done eating. I have been depending on Marie Callendar's frozen meals lately and they are very tasty, with low calories. I really don't buy low fat or diet food, I like low calorie regular food that taste good and it keeps my calorie count down. I don't punish my meals I just try to maintain them and make sure I exercise daily. Exercise consist of Tony Horton's 10 minute trainer videos 3 times daily and walking at least a mile 2 times a week. I set a daily schedule with the times that all should be done and it gives me a challenge to see if I can complete the daily goal, it is working well so far. Good luck
