    I try to eat more protein than carbs and that seems to be working so far.

    Non fat Greek yogurt has been a life saver for me as a snack in beginning of my weight loss journey. Stock up enough for one or two servings a day.

    Anything that fits within your daily calorie goal. Do pay attention to try to meet your minimum for protein fat and fiber. That means you'll be focusing on foods that will satiate you and satisfy you longer and you will be less likely to be hungry

    I recommend a reasonable calorie goal. If you’re burning out trying to stick to a super low goal you won’t stick to it. Also, bananas keep me full. Protein! Try searching for recipes for foods you enjoy but are trimmed down on the calories, I never liked zuchinni but since I got the spiralizer I can eat a bunch of veggies.

    I have personally found that eating full fat Greek yogurt with a sprinkling of crushed Total cereal on top in place of granola sticks with me all morning. Fat and protein are a necessary part of proper nutrition. Previously I struggled to get enough fat in my daily routine until I started eating full fat yogurt.

    I eat Total cereal because it is fortified with iron which I used to lack, among other nutrients not found in granola. I crush up 1/2 a serving to put on top.

    Just my own personal preference. I rarely opt for low-fat or fat free dairy.

    Eat the same things you're eating now, but in smaller quantities. Also consider increasing exercise.

    @wizzybeth That is a unique problem, not getting enough fat! Are you a vegetarian, by chance? I am not. I found it hard to meet my protein goal without going WAY over fat goal at beginning of my weight loss journey. I guess I shouldn't assume everyone has the same issue. But anyways, that's why I recommended non fat yogurt. Whole fat yogurt is definitely more delicious to me! I was trying to recommend something to the OP since she asked for ideas of weight loss foods. Not trying to bash fat haha! I love fat!!!

    Nope I am not a vegetarian. I just don't eat a lot of high-fat food Apart from dairy products usually. Even with me I always tended to eat chicken

    Because the lower fat products also have lower calories. And I feel peanut butter has way too many calories for the amount of oomph it provides LOL.

    Finding the balance to get the proper amount of protein fat and stay within my calories is a challenge

    When I eat out I try to guess at how many calories my meal is. Other people suggest looking up chain restaurants with similar meals to see what they list on their nutrition data for their calories. It's not exact but it's better than nothing.

    After a while as you become more experienced with tracking weighing your food Etc, you'll be able to give a reasonable guess as to how many calories you're eating when you are eating out. Depending on what foods you choose
