Protein and carbs

All i seem to eat is milk and cereal.
When went to bed last night, I couldn't sleep, so i had fruit loops and went right out. I got up this morning, and had some raisin bran. After class, i had a granola bar.  Then i had pasta and sauce for lunch, with a glass of milk to wash it down.
Well, ok, noodles aren't cereal, but you can see a trend. All i seem to eat are carbs, and usually with milk. I guess i get some meat at dinner, but typically that's just something like fish sticks or a burger. Not exactly prime rib. Perhaps i should consult the food pyramid.
This is the one i grew up learning about in grade school, but it seems there's a new one:


If you can't read it, the new one has measured amounts, rather than numbers of servings. Idiot proof, i suppose, but when the point is to get many people to use it, easy is better. I'm sure ok with it.
But, according to this, i get more than my daily allowance of grains and milk, but about half my proteins, and not really any fruit or veggies. I wonder if i should count calories, too.
I'm gonna go eat some fruit.

  4. I'm trying to watch what I eat too. It's a simple task, but hard to hold yourself to.
