    Eat food in proper portions. I personally eat a good 6 servings of veg per day, a serving or two of fruit, some whole grains and/or legumes, plenty of lean sourced protein (chicken, fish, lean cuts of beef and pork), and get most of my fats from things like avocado, nuts, cooking with healthy oils, etc. I also eat desert most nights and I like pizza and whatnot.

    One of the most important aspects of this is really just portion control though...I can eat all of that healthy stuff, but if I over eat, I'm still going to get fat.

    Eat foods that you like in portion sizes that fit in your goals.

    Get plenty of fat, fiber, and protein to help with hunger and health.

    Eat plenty of veggies for the micronutrients.

    Fill in the rest with sweets and treats if you want them.

    Food choices and meal planning are so personal depending on your goals, needs, and preferences. There are so many different ways that you can structure it. You can start by logging what you're eating now and make small changes.

    Eat food you like in amounts that fit your calories. If you find you're really hungry then look at your diary and the next day substitute for some more filling choices - look for items with more protein and fiber for that fuller feeling. The first step though is just to log. Then you can see where adjustments can be made.
