Fat doesn't make you fat it's the carbohydrates in the food like sugar that turns to fat that makes you fat. The only bad fat is trans fat and hydrogenated fat, these fats have been linked to heart attacks and cancer, KFC stopped using trans fats last year.
A male needs 92grms of good fats a day to make his body function at a normal rate, 92grms of fat is a hell of a lot of fat to try and consume in a day.
It's a myth that fat makes you fat.
For breakfast your best having a warm breakfast than a cold breakfast, a cold breakfast will cause a insulin spike due to the sugar content, this will give you a high feeling followed by a period of tiredness and hunger, this is the insulin spike. When you have a warm breakfast like porridge which is low in sugar and salt you don't get that insulin spike plus it makes you feel fuller for longer.

A bit like the 99.9% fat free meals, what percentage of fat are they basing it on? Have a look at the nutrition information and see the trans fats, sugar and salt content. They dress foods up to make them look good and to fool the customer.
