Diet For calorie deficit - Emmanuel Katto Uganda

Anything that fits in your calories is fine, bonus points if the total adds up to overall good nutrition. There aren't essential "diet foods", you can eat foods you now eat and enjoy. For myself, I had to swap around portion sizes and frequencies of some foods, but still eat generally the same range of foods I always did. (I've been maintaining a healthy weight for 8 years since loss.)

If you want to check out some new things, there are lots of web sites.

I'm not a big recipe gal, but I have tried some from the recipe section of the MFP blogs, and found them tasty. That might be a place to start:
