How should I eat?

I'm trying to adjust my diet but calorie counting alone isn't helping. I feel like I'm eating wrong. What food groups should I be eating for which meal? Are snacks between meals acceptable?

If you want feedback, we need to see how you are eating now. Are you willing to open your diary?0

Ive been losing weight eating whatever I want. I'm just doing pure calorie counting. If calorie counting isn't helping, you might be underestimating how much of something you eat, or you need to lower your calorie intake, or exercise more.
I eat tons of snacks. I eat 6 times a day, breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. Just try to snack on something low-calorie. I usually snack on an apple, grapes, or a 100-calorie snack pack of oreos or cheese-its or something.0 -
I actually haven't logged in quite a while. I'm trying to jump back into things today.0

I try to eat a lot of protein and fruit and some vegetables if I find some that I don't mind. I'm a pretty picky eater0

While BFDeal is teasing, he's got a point. You're asking a huge and varied community a very big question and all we know is you're young and female.You should be vegan. I don't have a good reason. I just think I'd be funny I guess and since you're asking us to pick that's my vote.
I'd tell almost anyone who is in good health to eat plenty of vegetables and to make sure and get healthy fats and enough protein. I also tell most folks to limit refined carbohydrates and then depending on their lifestyle, go from there. Others will say: eat whatever you want, in moderation (whatever that means).
Again, you're going to get a ton of different answers.
And then again you could see what the U.S. government thinks you should eat by going to choosemyplate.gov, granted that's sponsored by the US dept of agriculture...
eat enough, but not too much.
ETA: and skip the slim quick pills (mentioned in your other thread).

If you don't eat every 90min you will lose all your gainz, unless you're cutting in which case you will gain uncontrollably because of metabolic damage!0

OP, there is no right/wrong answer to your question. You are going to get a bunch of sarcastic responses and a bunch of sincere ones but really the answer is "eat whatever you like to eat and make it fit your calorie goals." If you are unable to do that, then you aren't going to lose weight.0

Other than a rather immature (and bizarre) username I am not seeing trolling. Just youth. But that's me.0 -

Yup. I saw those.
I guess we're not using the word troll the same way. Because I'm not seeing trolling. Maybe someone lying about their age...0 -

it's true. I heard it at the Arnold.
OP why not ask us a smaller question? Like... how could we create world peace?
You need to get a few ducks in order before you can start making pate. For example. What's your daily caloric need? Dietary wants/desires/restrictions
Daily energy output?
Additional outputs
Social issues/topics
Goals (reasonable and well articulated)
etc etc etc. It's all there in section 37B.
You stole fizzy lifting drink. You lose. Good day.0 -
Eat all food groups at any time you want0

I had a student last semester who passed out in my class (university). Turns out she was eating only saltines and fruit. Trying to lose weight for her wedding and someone told her this was a "get skinny quick" solution. The OPs posts all smack of young and naive and trying to get skinny quick. Not trying to cause disruption and discord.ThePhoenixIsRising wrote: »Sabine_Stroehm wrote: »ThePhoenixIsRising wrote: »Sabine_Stroehm wrote: »
