    There is no need to be perfect and categorize foods as being healthy and not healthy - it's all about context. What that means is you can meet all your micro and macro nutrient needs before you even hit your goal of 1800 calories. Thus, you can fill in the remaining calories with whatever you want whether it be cookies, cake, ice cream, etc. As long as it's within your calorie goal, feel free to treat yourself and not be so rigid. Rigidity is what makes people quit.
    ^ All of this. Exactly.

    I ate light throughout the day today, so had plenty of calories left at dinner time. Dinner ended up being 1250 calories and I still had room for a piece of ricotta cheesecake as my evening snack.

    Don't be afraid to eat. You can screw up your weight loss efforts as badly (or worse) by undereating as you can by overeating.

    Almonds and Avocado.

    Dont worry about being under your goal once in a while, and never worry about being over on protein.
