Answers:

So, basically, you’re eating processed packaged food and then wondering how healthy it is?!?

Do not have a “diet” diet, where you’re told what to eat, just eat healthy, have a simple healthy diet, so you can satisfy your cravings and answer your body’s need for some missing nutrients. If I’m building muscle mass, I’ll need a lot of carbs to do the weight training (because it’s anaerobic and fat burning shuts down) and then I’ll get huge cravings for eggs, nuts or a good juicy filet mignon (need for proteins for the “repairing stronger” part) otherwise, I would only eat eggs or meat like once a week.

Eating healthy is about avoiding the unhealthy food as much as possible. Once you stay away from fast food (any restaurant food, really), packaged and boxed food (except for bread, pasta and rice, if you don’t make your own bread/pasta), canned food, prepared and processed food, then you’re left with the fruits/veggies, whole wheat food (the brown kind of bread, pasta), brown rice, legumes (beans, peas, lentils...), lean meat, low fat dairies, eggs and the good kind of oil (olive, avocado, nuts, fish). You can have any of the bad stuff occasionally so they don’t become forbidden obsessions. Have some French fries, or one slice of pizza (with your favorite veggies) or a cookie, once in a while. Just don’t do it every day and watch out for portion sizes.
Also the cooking method can double the calorie content of a meal, so learn about healthy cooking without having to add extra fats, like using a steamer (using water), a rotisserie (using heat and herbs), a slow cooker (using homemade broth and herbs), a pressure cooker, a grill…

Once you cook your own meals, you can control the calorie content because your control the cooking method and all the ingredients. A lot of people are overweight because they keep eating food that they did not cook.

Edit:
I do not eat cereals or any other processed and packaged food.
(Anything with the word "bar" in it would be an automatic no-no).
I’m more like a whole wheat toasts with jam kind of person.
And you do not have to bake your own bread and make homemade jam...you can use 100% whole-wheat breads that are sold in stores and good jam (expensive, tasty organic ones, usually local or imported but you’ll save money and not have to eat preservatives if making your own).



It depends on what cereal you are eating however don't get too hung up on fat content; saturates are more harmful...



it depends on which cereal but in general, most cereals have like 1 or 2 grams of fat.



depends on the cereal you are eating and what milk (whole, 2%, 1%, skim) you put on it.



it depends on the cereal your eating.



also depends on the milk



Not Alot in rice crispies or something simple like that
