    Losing weight is about energy balance. You can lose weight eating McDonald's as long as you're eating in a calorie deficit for your body.
    So pick the things you like to eat and make sure that the total daily calorie intake is less than you burn in a day.

    How picky?
    Are you sensitive to food texture?
    Or certain spices?

    Lots of folks here would have great advice but we need more information about your personal yucks and yums.

    @ninerbuff is correct about calories, but I sense your question is more about suggestions for things you might like to try that are towards the “healthy” end of dietary choices.
