Are these okay to eat for breakfast?

Will walking work just as well?
I'm back from college for the holidays, so I don't have a gym to use the elliptical on. I can't run because my hip and knee hurt (I don't know why). Would brisk walking for 30-45 minutes be okay? I want to continue my weight loss and not slip up while at home.

Breakfast help/general diet
I'm in college, and I don't have that much money to spend, so I'm trying to keep it on my meal plan, or under 2 dollars. I don't eat this everyday, but since I started waking up early to run before class, I have time to head over to another cafeteria at my school where they have oatmeal. This is what I put it in -About…

College Dining Hall + Weight Loss
I was able to get down to about 172 before I came to college in September 1st. Since then (so 3 months-ish) I've gained about 5 pounds. This is not the direction I want to head in, since my goal weight is 130 pounds. My college has a buffet style dining hall, and it doesn't really have healthy options apart from the salad…

How to make my own iced coffee?
I seriously ADORE coffee. When it's hot, I just drink it black (I think it taste better that way), but iced coffee this summer is seriously becoming my downfall. I searched it up, and a small caramel iced coffee from McDonalds, while it is 130 calories, has 20g of sugar! I'm pretty sure starbucks coffee isn't far off. Does…

Are parfaits healthy?
They are super delicious, and easy to make, but I'm wondering if they are healthy? I make them with half a cup of fat free plain greek yogurt, 1/4 of granola, 100g of Strawberries, and 1/2 of mixed raspberries and blueberries. This comes out to being around 261 calories, so I just mark 275 on mfp, just in case, although I…

Is it okay to eat fast food?
I rarely ever eat fast food. The only fast food place I really eat at is Subway, maybe once a week. Sometimes, I feel like eating a breakfast sandwich, or an order of small fries, or some nuggets, but I'm afraid that's going to backtrack me all the way back to my original weight and I don't want that! Is it okay to indulge…

Am I exercising enough?
Okay, so I eat around 1100-1300 calories a day (if I can manage to eat 1300. I get so full, with snacks and everything! I eat healthy) I exercise around 30-40 minutes a day. Usually 20 minutes on the elliptical (speed it around 10 minute mile, just a little more), and then I either run on the treadmill, or do the cybex arc…

I've eaten really bad today...
I had oatmeal at 6 AM, and that's fine, but then for lunch at around 1 I had 2 slices of cheese pizza! and 2 oatmeal cookies. I feel really bad, I shouldn't have eaten it, but I was hungry, and my teacher bought us pizza. I don't know if I should just not eat anything else for the rest of the day, and go exercise for a…

How do I actually know the amount of calories I burned?
Without a HRM, because I'm a poor high school student moving on to be an even poor-er college student. Apparently, the calories that a machine says you burn are WAY off. By how much? If I'm on a machine for an hour, with high speeds and a medium level of resistance, and it says I burned ~750 cals, how many did I actually…

Family & bad eating habits...
My family has really bad eating habits. Like, huge portions, if it's not takeout/fast food, it's something fried at home. They buy a lot of chips, and cookies, soda, etc. I'm here trying to be healthy, but it's hard when I'm the only one. I'm trying to cut out certain foods, and it's not helpful when they buy the food. I…

Am I doing this right? I really want to lose weight
I'm 5'6, 181 pounds, 18 years old. Right now, I'm averaging around 1150-1400 net calories a day (So, actual food wise, I'll eat between 1300-1500, 1700 on a bad day) . I go to the gym everyday, and I'll end up burning around 250-400 calories a day. Depends on how much I eat that day. I don't each any white rice, white…

I'm at a loss?
I'm seriously to the point of crying everyday because of how bad I've gotten, and I'm actually really depressed about this. I can't seem to lose weight, and I've been trying for the longest time. I'm 5'6, 181 pounds, 18 years old. I've tried fad diets (which I know are bad), eating 1200 and exercising, eating back my…
