Ok...so I am trying to eat up to my limit on calories since you are suppose to. I am just a little "dumb" when it comes to what type of stuff you are supose to eat to do this. I obviously dont' want items high on fat too, so what do you eat when you are dieting like this??? Oh and it is not help to me to say "high fiber foods" or "whole grains". I need SPECIFIC items ie: eat peanuts. LOL I am just not all that great at figuring out "whole grains" LOL Thanks in advance!

Just FYI....I am 5'5" and weigh 155lbs. I would like to weigh 140. MFP is telling me to eat 1200 cal a day. I also am working out, spinning, running on the treadmill (11 min mile). Please help. Thanks
