For breakfast I'd eat one or teo can of corned beef hash with a half dozen eggs and wash that down with two glasses of milk,  when i ate corn flakes i'd eat a whole serving bowl worth of them. For dinner i'd eat a whole family pack of chicken pieces or an entire pizza (every night not jusy occasionalyl for the hell of it).  I put myself on an exrcise regime and the miracle diet of no more 4ths and 5ths and behold the weight slowly came off.  I'm still obese according to assinine charts , I'm moderately muscular with a small paunch (not bad for pushing 40). I'm pretty happy where i am and no one guesses me to weigh as much as i do nor would they ever consider me to be fat.  People just have to be sensible and realisitic.  Cut back on the soda (diet and non diet), eat till yuo are no longer hungry, you don't have to be full at every sitting. Vary your diet a lot and keep snacks to a minimum.</blockquote>
