I agree. I have toast with natural pb just about everyday because it works well (and because it's easy and I love peanut butter).

You're right.
I guess I just need to get used to eating less and getting full from healthier food.
It's like without realizing it I started eating the exact same portion sizes as my 6'4 220 lb hubby. and I'm ony 5'1 140 lbs.

Sounds like a wimpy little breakfast right? It sounds healthy right?
Well that 1 cup of all natural apple sauce was 140 calories, sheesh its apple sauce!
The toast was 100 calories and the PB was 100 calories.
So that tiny little meal was already 340 calories. I can't believe it.
Do guys ever make a meal that seems super healthy and then find that its actually really high calorie.
At this rate I'm gonna figgin starve.
Just thought I'd vent, lol.

that's really not that bad. I try to stay around 500 calories a meal.
