    Just eat less of whatever you would normally eat. There's no specific food or meal that will help you lose weight.

    That said, I like eating tuna with mustard and relish. Fewer calories than mayo and I prefer to get my fats from tastier sources.

    same thing I do. Eat what I like, just in appropriate portions for my calorie and macro goals.

    problem solved.

    Shrimp is a really low calorie seafood that is super easy to cook. I buy them frozen and defrost in water for 10 mins, season with garlic, lemon zest, etc., and sautée with oil spray. Makes a great protein for dinner or cold over salads for lunch. :)

    Another vote for this.

    More veggies and fruits give me more volume for my calories, so I try to include lots of those. But I haven't drastically changed my intake in order to lose weight.

    I do 3:2 ratio of light olive oil mayo and dijon mustard in my tuna. Also as a dip for leftover chicken or pork eaten as cold slices.
