You can eat anything you like, as long as it fits into your calories.2

Eat foods that you like in portion sizes that fit your goals.
Get plenty of fats & protein for health and satiety.
Get plenty of fruits & veggies for the micronutrients.
Fill in the rest of your calories with carbs, sweets, and treats as you see fit.
There are no foods that you must avoid, just like there are no foods that you must include in your diet. You may find as you progress that there are some foods you don't consider worth the calories, but that's going to be highly individual. Start logging for a few days and make changes as you go along until you find what works best for you.5 -
you can eat literally any food and lose weight. the big issue is portion control, and to lose weight, it's a good idea to know how MUCH of each food you can eat. have you input your height, weight and gender into MFP along with your weight loss goal? it should give you a daily calorie amount, and from there you can eat as much of each food as fits your numbers.2

Eat food.
Less food than you did before.
Every day.
Try to move your body more than you did before.
Every day.
(or: Fill out the forms that MFP gives you to set goals. Find out your goal.
Every day, enter every single thing you eat or drink into your food log)1 -

If you like the sweet flavor of fruits, sugar snap peas, carrots, and bell peppers are relatively sweet veggies and I quite enjoy snacking on them.
A little more prep, but roasted beets can also be rather sweet and once they are cooked, they're quite good cold on a salad (especially with goat cheese!)
Is there a particular reason you say you eat too much fruit?0 -
A giant bowl of salad using a good quality sweet balsamic vinegar as a dressing satisfies my sweet craving. My favorite is strawberry balsamic by Veronica Foods. They are a wholesaler who distributes to a lot of local shops, who rebottle it under their own label. Amazon sells it too, but 50% higher than my local shop sells for.
Ditto roasted vegetables. Be sure to include beets. Toss them in balsamic and roast. Once they caramelize they become super sweet. I love them fresh out of the oven, and cold the next day over mixed greens.
I developed a grazing problem after many years at a rather unexciting front desk volunteer job. I’ve started taking a big zip lock of baby carrots, sliced radishes and cucumbers, along with a few tablespoons of Walden Farms zero calorie ranch dressing in a small Tupperware container. A giant bag seldom comes to more than 60 calories, takes a while to eat, satisfying crunch, and very very filling.
Check your farmers market for unusual locally grown vegetables. I’ve just discovered watermelon radishes. They are gorgeous, and taste like a cross between an apple and a radish, and virtually no calories.
I’m looking forward to seeing what the next season’s surprises will be.
Try something new. Grocery store had a deal on fennel bulb. I’ve never tried it before and for that price I was willing to experiment. I cubed it and threw it into my roast vegetables along with some of that watermelon radish. It was lovely!
Next up is to try the local ethnic grocery. They have a massive produce department full of things to try!1 -
