Spring is coming! And I wanna go running! outside!

Hidden calories!

So your on a diet. You've been watching what you eat and exercising.. and yet.. the scale won't budge. Its time to look for.. the HIDDEN calories.

I love cereal.. but one problem. Most cereals have like 130 calories without milk it just 3/4 a cup.
That's not a lot of cereal. So I'm guessing your eating 2-3 servings. And drinking the milk.

Perhaps its time to get out that measuring cup or switch to oatmeal or toast. Something you can measure. (check out kellog's website-http://www2.kelloggs.com/)

My recent find is Honeycombs. Childhood favorite. Bringing it back.. It has less that 200 calories with milk and 1 1/2 cups a serving.

How many calories are lurking in your morning coffee? Adding cream & sugar? you could be taking your calorie free coffee up to 300 calories. For a small cup. Lay off the sugar and check out light creams or use fat free milk with truvia with flavored coffee. And for those who like strong.. drink it black.

Write down what you ate to day and look out for those hidden calories!
