    Whatever fits within your alotted calories, provides you adequate nutrition, and keeps you satisfied (physically and mentally) so that you can look at this as something more than a diet.

    Basically, what hornsby said.

    a good bit of lean sourced protein, some healthy fats, plenty of veg and some fruit, some whole grains...legumes, etc...you should be good.

    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.

    I really like this link if you're just getting started: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants

    The best way is to eat as little pre-prepared crap as possible. Buy fresh (or frozen) produce, fresh (or frozed) lean meats or fish. Keep away from canned foods as much as possible, they're packed with sodium and can be a hidden source of corn syrup.

    The way I came up with better meals was to buy fresh foods that were appealing, then plug them into a website that spits out recipes based on your provided list of available ingredients. I can't remember the name of it! But its awesome.

    Chocolate. Seriously, you can eat everything. You have an idea of the foods that make up a well-rounded diet. Eat a lot of those, throw in some chocolate (or your choice of treat) and stick to your calorie goal. That's it!

    I try to maximize bulk and satisfaction by eating a lot of protein and non-starchy veggies, paying attention to fats and fiber, and ensuring that I make room for treats and foods I love, like pasta and desserts. That way I don't feel deprived.

    I've found that I'm better off with a very small deficit, losing slowly while lifting heavy. I'm also finding a lot more satisfaction by halving pasta servings and doubling protein servings. I still get the taste of my ravioli and spaghetti, but I'm all filled up with the chicken and turkey meatballs.

    Some days I literally feel stuffed and can't eat all my calories, and I never thought I'd say that (I used to HATE people who said that!) It's all about choosing (mostly) the right foods, and keeping a good, healthy perspective. I could easily eat 4000 calories of cake and pizza in a day. But 1800 calories of chicken, arugula, shrimp and butternut squash is a challenge.

    Some of my favorites are grilled chicken breasts, ground lean turkey, oatmeal, veggies (asparagus is my fav), quinoa, turkey burgers, protein pancakes-I have an incredible and easy recipe for them if you'd like it. I've also started making a protein shake to add to my usual breakfast (turkey bacon and eggs wrapped in a high fiber wheat tortilla with hot sauce). I try to get protein and fiber in every meal/snack. For snacks I love almonds (Blue Diamond Dark Chocolate Roasted Almonds are incredible and so are cinnamon roasted), beef/turkey jerky, Quest bars, Muscle Pharm Combat Crunch Bars, fruit.. hope this helped.

    I like ethnic food so, I check out healthy re-do's on Thai, curry, Mexican etc.
    for ex: chicken verde
    Home made verde sauce by boiling tomatillos and blending with garlic onion jalapeños that have been roasted.

    Mix some of that sauce w low fat sour cream and seasoning. Add shredded chicken and mashed avocado. Mix all together.

    Low carb tiny tortillas rolled up w that mix. Add verde sauce to the bottom of pan and top rolls w vegan cheese.

    Pretty damn tasty for "healthy" food.
