Snacking is the best way to go. Snack on nuts (not too many), veggies such as capsicum, carrots, broccoli. Boiled eggs are good. Beef jerky strips.
Keep to the protein and the veggies

I try to eat proteins.. they give me energy and keep me full…
That way at the end of the day.. I still have enough energy to go to the gym, yet I’m not bloated and too full to work out.
Examples –
Light cheese
Nuts
Fage
Ricotta cheese (fat free w/ splenda and a little bit of vanilla)
Egg whites
Tuna w/ balsamic vinegar
Fruit
Veggies

In my personal experience eating 5-6 small meals every 2 to 3 hrs being sure to include protein in each meal works great. It keeps your metabolism at a steady burning rate and you never feel hungry. As far as what foods to eat its just common sense. Lots of fruits and veggies, lean proteins, whole wheat over white etc. And if you don’t have alot to lose exercise will defiantly benefit you the fastest. Like rotating cardio with strength training 3-4 days a week. Good luck to you and congrats on the ambition of getting healthy.

Fruits and Veggies
Your body uses more calories to burn these foods. Say an apple has 50 calories, your body use 75 calories to burn the apple. Its a win win situation, you are eating good food and burning excess calories at the same time.
I eat pears, apricots, apples, pineapple, low-fat yogurt.
I usually eat a pear 2 to 3 hours after i eat breakfast. Then about 2 hours after lunch I eat low-fat yogurt. I try to eat my veggies at dinner.

Maybe it would help you if you didn’t look at things as “diet foods”. When you want to eat something (which you should do often, like every 2-3 hours), think to yourself – what benefit am I getting from this? So instead of thinking of things you CAN’T eat b/c you’re trying to firm up, try thinking of what you CAN eat to help you. What you do eat is much more important that what you don’t eat. And the little things do add up. For example – try a small handful of nuts, but remember to get them without salt. No need for that extra sodium. And drink TONS of water. I know it sounds very cliche, but once you get into a habit of really staying hydrated, you realize how much better you feel. Oh, and fresh, raw veggies are great. Just remember, the more natural a food is, and the less processed, the better it is for you. Good luck friend!
