I weigh every single gram of every single thing I put in my mouth, unless it's packaged and has the full nutrition info on the package. For example, I don't just eat a handful of nuts, I measure it out to the gram with my digital scale. It's especially important when the thing you're eating is very dense in calories (like…

You need fiber for breakfast. I find that nothing more than a cup of Corn Bran will keep me full until lunch, and a cup is only 120 calories (dry). That and drink a lot of water all day.
