what should my calorie intake be at?

for the cheerios i was thinking of eating another bowl of oatmeal there, but is 2 bowls in 1 day to much?.

also what is this crystal light you speak of, i have never heard of it, can you get it at any store? or is it not available in Canada?

Judge the calories by the gains, keep them where they are for now if you are gaining but once they stop add more cals.

You can have oatmeal at every meal if you wish theres no rule that you can only have it once or twice. If I'm in a bind I sometimes eat oatmeal ALL day long, maybe a lil tuff on the gut at first but you get use to it.

Crystal light is a sugar free juice type thing, its pretty good and has almost nothing in it. You can pick it up at almost any supermarket.
