    I eat 1/4 cup of very high quality ice cream with nuts and a spoon of yogurt around 9.

    Nuts are VERY high in calories. Cheese is very high in calories. Lentils and other beans are very high calories. Oh my gosh! DATES and FIGS are very high calories.

    Any staple of any regional diet is very high in calories.

    When I was first losing I just dropped dairy, nuts, and bread out of my diet. You can add them back in.

    Seriously. I love love love figs, but at ~55 calories for *one* fig, that’s sadder than the calorie density of peanut butter.
