Hello! Any tips or advice are welcome!

I am new to this app, so far it has helped me with the dieting, but I feel like there's more that could be done. I guess what I'm saying is that I'm not entirely sure what to make that's low in calories and fat.

Is there a particular reason you're looking for low fat? Calories are king. You can opt to eat things you already enjoy and keep them within your caloric goals, or you can lighten up by adding more fresh fruits and veggies.

Get yourself a food scale and read all the stickies in the forums. You'll do great.

Thank you so much! And no there isn't too much of a reason, but I really want to lose weight.
