If you ate at 11:30, I could understand. 6 isn't too late to eat anything. Don't freak out... You could probably read a book and burn it off! It's plenty early enough. Chill!

Unless you're going to be another victim of an eating disorder (and yes overexercise qualifies) or something don't worry. Eating a ton of fast food and eating a single bowl of cereal is completely different. You wouldn't gain weight from one day overeating. A week maybe you'd gain a pound or two but even that's unlikely. Do not exercise right before you go to bed--if you're going to dance or do some other cardio right now you need to make sure you're not going to bed for another 4-5 hours. That way your muscles can have some unwinding time, you'll be able to sleep easier, and you shouldn't run the risk of injury as much. If you plan to sleep soon, do some low-cardio like walking around the neighborhood. Going overboard does nothing aside from destroy the body that you're trying to get to look its best.

It sounds you are so worked up about eating that bowl of cereal, your emotional state is already burning it off!
Why are you so scared? What is it that makes you want to eat a bowlful of cereal and then feel so awful about it? Eating should be joy and fun and it sounds like you are having none of those!
The first thing you must do is STOP feeling like a pig! You need good food: try and put in your fridge and your cupboards good, nutritious, inviting foods like fresh fruit and colourful veg and scrumptious little nuts and seeds. Nibble at them when you feel hungry, but don't just devour them: eat slowly, savour the food, the taste, colour and textures, enjoy the feeling of satisfaction from eating something that is both tasty and good for you.
Drink lots of fresh, cool water, maybe with a squeeze of lemon or a shaving of fresh ginger. Drink peppermind or fennel tea (unsweetened) to help with your digestion. Fennel tea can help curb your appetite naturally.
Go for a little walk, laugh a bit, love yourself a bit.
And for goodness' sake stop counting calories!
Enjoy

I am sorry but you are beening really silly over just a bowl of Cereal,it would be different if you had ate a box of Chocolates or Fish and chips, but hey it a bowl of Cereal, just because you had that does not mean you have ruined any diet, just for give your self and carry on as normal, if it makes you feel better go for a good brisk walk, and chill out.

Look in the phone book under your local council and find out support for eating disorders.
Do it now.
The last thing in life you should be worried about is if you had a bowl of cornflakes at 5.55 pm.
Find out if you can have a test for an autistic spectrum disorder as well. Many women with eating disorders fall under the autistic spectrum and are missed because it is considered a "male disorder".
You may just be obsessive but to any degree, worrying about eating a bowl of cornflakes at 5.55 is not healthy and not "normal".
Feel scared if you lived in a tribe in Africa and you were watching your babies die in front of you from lack of food.
Put it into perspective.
Eating disorders are a western invention and a luxury at that.
Go see how people with real problems live and then tell us how "scared" you are about eating a bowl of cornflakes at 5.55pm..

so what if you ate a bowl of cereal at 5:55 pm. There isn't anything wrong with that. I'm confused as to why you are acting like you just ate poison or something. And yes dancing is a very good calorie burner plus it's fun.

I don't get the big deal about eating anything at that time of day. yes, dancing will burn it, but you'll have to dance a while. how long depends on your age, height, and weight. here's a calculator that will help you find out. don't worry. as long as the cereal is nutritious, you will be fine. you should know how many calories you are allowed during the day. as long as you don't exceed that amount, it doesn't matter when you eat.

are you on diet? you dont need to wory about burning it off its only a bowl of cereal. if you really do wanna burn it off i know it sounds silly but run up and down the stairs about 4 times that should do it. am sorry but it seems as you are either on a diet or have an eating disorder am not being nasty. its just that you shouldnt be worried about a bowl of cereal.

You obviously have other issues that need to be addressed. It's not healthy to worry about such silly things. I would suggest finding a good counselor. Wish you the best of luck.

Sweetheart i think you have an eating disorder. There is nothing wrong with eating a bowl of cereal and 300 calories is NOTHING!!!! You need to speak to a doctor about your feelings.
