What is more important

Eating to your calories in a deficit consistently(any foods).

Eating to your calories in a deficit consistently(healthy foods).

How to look for trends on the weighing scale week to week/month to month rather than the number on that given day.

    Both things are equally valid.

    Download a weight trend app which allows you to see the trends. For a lot of people its helpful to stop worrying so much and second guess the process

    I have happy scale to see the trends.

    eating foods that keep you satiated and staying under calories for weight loss. Balancing healthy and fun foods in a way you could do for the rest of your life. Thats important.

    Deficit is for weight loss, healthy foods are for health and nutrition. It's up to your priorities, but ideally both.

    @Redordeadhead can't speak for the OP, but I used to do the same thing and came with a new profile every time I "started" again. Incidentally, once I stopped doing that and started seeing longer-term trends, including the times of MFP inactivity and weight gain, I started taking more responsibility for my actions and what they caused in terms of health and weight and making more consistent choices. Before that, I didn't have the guts to own up to my past mistakes and always wanted to just start fresh.
