I cut down to about 1 drink a week while I was dieting hard. Now my tolerance is gone (as well as 50 lbs) which makes me a super lightweight. When minimizing calories, stick to liquor. I like whiskey+diet coke or vodka+Fresca.

Wendy's, McDonald's, and burger King: get a grilled chicken sandwich without sauce. Add plain mustard or hot sauce. Popeye's blackened chicken tenders (amazing) . Burrito bowl with no rice, cheese, or sour cream.

Sorry to hear about your medical troubles. Beans are a great source of protein and fibre. If you're buying canned, aim for low sodium.

Well to get an accurate BMR, you first need a body fat percentage. I estimated using this formula: Adult Body Fat % = (1.20 x BMI) + (0.23 x Age) – (10.8 x gender) – 5.4 According to your numbers, your BMI=39.9 age=23 gender=0 That puts your body fat at about 47.8% To find your BMR from that data, use this formula to…

Try to eat them all as carbs since you don't need any more fat and…

Your BMR is how many calories you would burn if you don't get out of bed. It is just to keep your organs running.

Sorry to double-post but I just saw this. Eating under your BMR can have same seriously negative consequences. You will lose muscle and Your metabolism will rapidly slow making it more difficult to lose weight. If your metabolism slows, you will need to take a break from your diet to repair your metabolism.

You should aim to eat about 150-200 over your BMR. Burn as many calories as you like. The more you burn, the more results you will see (body fat % and weight). Try www.iifym.com to figure out your optimal calories and macros. Remember to set exercise to zero if you're using that calorie goal on MFP (so you can adjust total…

Organic is probably a bit better for you but not enough to justify the price difference.
