vegetables, fruit, grains, starches, lean sourced protein like chicken, fish, pork tenderloin, etc....

Note that as foods go that naturally have fat, I do not usually do low fat options save for milk and my greek yogurt...there are plenty of naturally occurring non-fat or low fat foods...I don't really do "diet" foods.

Most fruits and vegetables are very low in fat. Grains tend to be low in fat -- things like pasta, rice, and bread can help you get more calories without much fat (check the label for breads to make sure).

I can understand that. Fat reduced foods are often quite nasty. What are your fat/carb/protein goals (in grams), and why? Do you have health concerns that dictates fat intake?

Any specific reason for low fat food sources? If you're looking to lose weight, a caloric deficit is what you're after.

As long as the fat isn't crowding out other things that you need, you can probably go over your goal.

Eating foods high in fats won't make you gain weight. Calories is what matters most with weight control.

If you want to lose weight, enter go to your mfp settings and enter your current weight + daily activity level, then your goal weight and it'll tell you the amount of daily calories to consume to achieve that goal weight.

Buy a food scale to weigh everything to know just how much calories you're consuming. If you don't have a food scale, you're most likely over estimating - thus not losing weight or worse gaining.
