Types of food will I need to eat?

I love veggies and fruit !! 😍😍 but I feel I eat to much of these that’s my problem I’ll make 0%fat yogurt and add fruit but I’ll eat a full pot I just take a while to feel full, and that’s my problem I don’t know when to stop eating, I’m going to listen to everyone’s advice and try smaller portions and slow down with food I’ve really struggled with all motivation recently and let my self get in a bad state to now I don’t like looking at myself and I feel like I’m trying to punish myself with only eating when I actually feel sick I'm now understanding that’s not actually good for me and this is we’re ive turned to 🤷🏼‍♀️

Stop. Just a second. And I'm sure many will agree.

Smaller portions is shorthand for less calories -- not less vegetables!!!

For the love of all the kittens what is wrong with eating a tub of 0% low calorie yogurt with say some apples and all bran cereal (or 0% with some plain pumpkin even, be adventurous) IF and only IF the ~400 Cal keeps you full for hours and you don't eat other things that would add even more calories.

Now if it didn't keep you full, then it wasn't a good investment for your calories and you should maybe have had just a smaller portion for taste and happiness and eaten more of something else that was more satiating if you rolled that way.

Your goal is to find things that satiate and satisfy YOU and fit in your (caloric) budget.

Portion size by itself, irrespective of calories and satiation, is not a goal.

Then you dial in the rest of it slowly to keep improving the mix.

You log. You review. You evaluate. You improve your choices.

"In fact, I'd suggest fine-tuning your eating in this order: Calories, satiation, macronutrients, micronutrients. I'd further suggest you do that using foods you enjoy eating - or at least that you don't dislike"
