As a veggie, I think keeping an eye on the protein is going to be the way to go. thanks, that’s very helpful and I’ll bear it in mind.

I have a legal ledger that is nothing but addition lines. ;) I weight, I measure and I look up info. It's easy on anything packaged, but fresh fruits and veggies and meat can be pretty tough. There's a great site called nutritiondata.com that has an amazing index of food and the calories and other nutritional info associated with them. If I go out to eat, I try to hit places that make their nutritional information public so I can make good choices. With cereal, you just have to watch which one you pick. Some cereals, like rice krispies are not even remotely filling. Other cereals, like Kashi GoLean Crunch are astonishingly filling, even if you only go with the actual serving size. The thing that has worked best for me is focusing on protein and fiber. If you aim to get 25 grams of fiber a day and at least 75 grams of protein a day, you'll find you're eating pretty filing food. :) I’m a fiend with my calculator and log sheets.

As mentioned on Donna's version of this blog, have belatedly started my own plan for weight loss/ get fit for the year, and been slightly disconcerted to discover how small a standard portion of cereal really is :( how are you working out the calories for all these meals?
