    I ate food to lose weight, in quantities to fit my calorie and macro requirements. I personally couldn't use shakes as meal replacements as I love cooking and eating; drinking my calories seems soulless and takes the enjoyment out of food. I also don't feel physically satisfied by drinking my calories.

    Eat foods you enjoy, but log them accurately by using a food scale for solids and measure liquids. Eat mostly nutrient dense foods that support good health, but don't think you need to completely avoid certain foods or food groups.

    I don't do shakes or supplements, I don't snack or prep meals.
    I have lost weight before, but to keep it off I had to make a lifestyle change.
    Renaming a diet "lifestyle change" does not make it a lifestyle change.

    I plan my meals and schedule grocery shopping. I shop with a list to execute my plan.
    I eat anything I want, but I make sure my meals are balanced, properly portioned, and varied.
    I eat regular meals at reasonable intervals.
    I cook quite a lot from scratch and eat ordinary, delicious food.

    I love chips and dip. I have replaced the chips and salsa with cucumbers and salsa. I still get the crunch from the cucumber, when I feel for something salty I just add some salt. I also like air popcorn with nothing on it.

    Glad you are on the road to a healthy lifestyle:
    Some of my favorite snacks are :
    Boiled Eggs
    Yogurt w/ fresh fruit or granola
    Avocado Toast with whole grain bread
    1 pack of oatmeal
    Apple with 1 Tbsp of Peanut butter
    Skinny Pop Popcorn
    Almonds, Roasted no or low salt



    My favorite meal preps are salads. I usually start with the same base . Spring Mix, Cucumber, Carrots, Red Onions ( I hate tomatoes and mushrooms)
    But I change to flavor profile easily with the toppings.
    Taco Salad ( taco meat, salsa, crunchy tortilla strips, mexican cheese & beans)
    Fajita ( Fajita meat with sauteed onions and peppers)
    Cobb ( Deli meat Turkey and Ham, Boiled Egg, Cheese )
    Club ( Chicken, Bacon )

    Also I get a ton of snack ideas from Pinterest

    Snacks:
    Greek yogurt (with granola or chopped pecans if you like)
    Mediterra bars
    Quest bars
    Frozen grapes
    Mini bagel with butter or cream cheese
    Carrots and hummus
    Plain fruit
    String cheese
    Cup of cereal with unsweetened almond milk
    Banana or apple with almond butter
    Banana "ice cream"
    Air popped popcorn

    Prep meals:
    Amy's bowls and burritos are good options - the baked ziti bowl is tasty and appx 350 cals and the bean and vegetable burrito is like a staple in my diet
    Kashi bowls are really good too, and they're all about 250-300 calories - I love the sweet potato quinoa bowl

    Hope this helps!
