Am I doing this right?

Ok, here's the deal. When I wake up in the morning I have a bowl of grapenuts cereal with soy milk for breakfast and 1 cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and 2% milk for cream. Before lunch, I walk briskly on my treadmill with 2 lb weights in my hands for 30 minutes. Then I have a low calorie lunch (today was steamed veggies with shredded parmessan cheese). For a snack, I'll choose either a piece of fruit or if I don't want that, I'll have maybe a boiled egg. For dinner, it's usually higher calories than anything but I try to keep it under 400. And I also try not to eat anything after 7 pm. At night for wind-down time, I'll have a couple of glasses of red wine. I'm not writing anything down, I just try to make mental notes on what goes in my body throughout the day and I do the walking everyday. You see, I've never had to do this before, so I'm confused on the counting calories thing. For example, let's say a product has 50 calories per serving. On some products, it will say "calories from fat" underneath. Do I add the two together, or is the calories from fat included in the calorie count? If I could get that straight, I think I could get a handle on this. Oh, one more thing. If there are any typos in this post, you'll just have to forgive me. I do try. Thank you.
