    Stay away from processed foods, lots of veggies and you can eat till you are feel full and not go over on your calories.

    Avoid sugar, eat lots of protein and keep moving!

    (They say green veggies are all good but I am only preaching here cuz I hate veggies myself! lol)

    It's a personal choice. You can honestly eat anything you want if it fits into your calorie goals. I choose to eat un-processed whole foods 90% of the time as I can get more 'bang for my buck' because fruits, veggies and lean meats are just lower calorie than most other things plus they are healthier. I'm not perfect all the time, that's where the 10% comes in...I allow myself treats and convenience items a few times a week.

    Its not really what to eat....clearly you dont want to be eating big macs and fries...

    you should be eating 5-6 SMALL meals a day........try to stay away from things that are processed or anything with alot of sodium........on a typical day for me this is what i eat....

    Breakfast-
    egg white omlet filled with veggies and cheese

    snack-
    whey protein shake
    (milk, peanut butter and scoop of proetin sometimes I add a banana in there)

    lunch
    salad with meat
    everything on my salad....except cheese bc I had cheese in the morning....ill alternate bc there is alot of sodium in some cheeses...and I also put cranberries and nuts on my salad

    or I have a sandwhich...but I used like real turkey or chicken


    snack
    fiber plus bar/ nuts

    dinner
    protein( chicken, fish, shrimp and sometimes steak)
    2 veggies or 1 veggies and sweet potato

    eating so often helps speed up your metabolism.............I dont deprive myself of things I just eat them in moderation and I try to switch them up....I look for things in high protein and fiber....good fats and low in sodium......

    hope that helps.
