Eat what you normally just eat less.

If you go low carb, fat needs to come up. Low carbers often have 50% or more fat macros. Mine is set at 75%.

Try hard cheese to add calories. Add bacon to your eggs. I have am now at a normal BMI and am still losing about 1 lb per week on 1500 calories at over 110 g of fat per day. You can add some calories and still lose. I would add fat if your protein is already adequate.

Good luck.

Hey OP, to answer your original question, I eat oatmeal for breakfast (1/2 c. oatmeal, 1/2 ripe banana, 1/2 c. almond milk + cinnamon) which keeps me full until as late as 2. As a vegetarian, I have found edamame to be a cheap and delicious low-calorie protein source. So I like to have 1/2 - 1 cup with lunch. I get bored easily so I don't have a consistent daily meal plan, but meal prepping and planning has definitely helped! Look up recipes and snacks before going to the grocery store. Make a list, stick to it, and don't get distracted by anything else at the store. Good luck! Feel free to check out my diary for ideas. It should be public I believe.

My stats: Female, 5'10", ~148lbs, 70+ day streak, lost 17 since Jan '15.
