If you're going to eat cereal, Cheerios is one of the better ones. But it is higher in salt, so be careful there.

Raisin Bran is one of the worst. Tons of sugar. The flakes and the raisins are both covered. And raisins have lots of natural sugar as it is.
Milk is fine, skim is best. It's not like drinking a coke. But milk does have calories, so you should be aware of that.
If cereal and milk are the worst things you're eating then you're doing ok.
Don't forget you still need at least 2000 calories a day, even if sedentary, to maintain your current weight (all of us athletic types will need more). The point is you can get those 2000 calories from foods that make you feel full and don't make you feel like crap or hungry an hour after eating them.
