If you want an actual plan then you just have to sit down and think about what is right for you however I find it hard to plan my meals or calculate exactly how many calories I eat in a day so one way to solve it is to set your self a target every week such as, don't have any seconds, eat at least 5 a day everyday, that way you are still giving yourself freedom to choose whatever meal you feel like but you can cut down on what you eat. Another way to diet is to make sure that you chew every mouth full of food 30 times so that 1. you taste the food( that's always nice) and 2. your body has time to tell you when too stop. Good Luck

eat tuna- the protein helps to build your muscles... and instead of junk food for meals eat vegetables or foods with vegetables...' DRINK LOTS OF WATER- it actually helps to break down sugars by hydrolysis

Hi Megan, If you are looking for healthy meal ideas, here it is. Salmon & Baked Potato Although it is still the favorite of many, the ever popular beef steak is not the best choice for anyone that wants to live a long life, free of chronic disease. Salmon is delicious and it is also loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for the health of your heart and circulatory system. Beef steak contains some omega-3s, but the concentration of omega-6s is much higher. Higher intake of omega-6s, combined with low intake of omega-3 causes systematic or chronic inflammation, which plays a role in heart disease and cancer. The omega-3 found in beef is not the same as those found in salmon and other types of fatty fish. In fact, fish and seafood are the only dietary sources of DHA and EPA, two of the most important omega-3s. You will see yams taking the place of white potatoes in many healthy meal ideas. Although the white potato is low in fat and has some nutritional value, it is a simple carbohydrate that is processed too quickly. Simple carbohydrates contribute to high blood sugar levels and high insulin levels, which in turn contributes to inflammation and can lead to type 2 diabetes. Pineapple,beat,cabage-great Big NO to Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Cole Slaw & Biscuits If you are looking for healthy meal ideas, you are probably already aware that the menu above is not a good choice. But, where are the problems? Chicken breasts are lean, healthy and a good source of protein, but if you coat it with breading and drop in a deep fryer, you have a high fat, high carbohydrates food that is almost as bad asa bag of potato chips. Bake or grill the breasts to keep them healthier. The cabbage and carrots in coleslaw are relatively healthy, although the cabbage that most people eat is a hybrid, low in nutritional value. One of my favorite healthy meal ideas is to substitute purple cabbage, Chinese cabbage and kale for the standard variety. It gives the nutritional value a boost and has the same pleasant crunch. Instead of making mashed potatoes, you can mash yams, steam some broccoli or mash some turnips. Biscuits at fast food restaurants are a source of fatty acids, the ones that are worst for your health. Try some whole wheat rolls, instead. If you are looking for healthy meal ideas because you need to lose weight, now is the time to learn more about the importance of when you eat and what foods you eat together. It could help you reach your goals faster. Stay Healthy

These are rules that I follow in my daily life (even thought I'm not on a diet anymore)... 1. I don't eat carbs (no pastas, rice, breads, cereals, SWEETS, or anything made out of flour...) 2. My main sources of protein are lean meats (skinless chicken breast), white fishes (haddock) or egg whites... 3. I eat only non-strachy vegetables (my favs are asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, radishes and spinach) and I don't eat potatoes, peas, corn and other starchy veggies. 4. I eat fruit in moderation (usually I'll have a piece of fruit on mondays and fridays). Fruits that I eat most often is grapefruit and raspberries (in right amounts of course) because they're quite low in natural sugar if I would compare them to bananas or grapes... 5. I eat a 100g pot of natural plain yogurt almost everyday (FAGE Total 0% Authentic Greek Strained Yogurt !!! I only eat this one because it's higher in protein and lower in carbs than any other natural yogurts out there) and it was proven that fat free dairy, especially yogurts helps to reduce belly fat. 6. I only drink water and green tea (2 cups a day) 7. No junk food or sweets EVER This is pretty much all what I eat. I do light exercises 3 times a day for about 25 minutes just to keep my body in shape
