Learn to love beans. They're close to a perfect food. I am fond of bushes beans in chili sauce with brown rice. And cheese of course, part skim mozzarella or kraft 2%.

Torrilin's advice is great.

I hate counting nutrients, let alone calories, so I like simple rules. The most useful piece of advice I think I've heard (which Torrilin mentions) is to eat as many different colors of (unprocessed!) food as you can in a day.

I try to avoid processed foods in general and feel *so* much better when I do.

Personally I think fat gets a bad rap. Granted, things like a Big Mac aren't good for you, but fat does have its place. Whole milk, butter & real cheese are not only delicious but also filling.

Most of all, food is delicious, enjoy it in all its varieties!

Good fats= Sardines, p.nut butter, avacado. Make a sandwich outta that

I can't get past the gas factor in beans...
