My new 200 calorie breakfast consists of 1 container of yogurt (I like Yoplait Strawberry Shortcake) and 1/4cup of granola. However I don't count the 1000 cups of coffee I have through the day so I'm sure I blow any calorie count.

Coffee= almost 0 calories.. it's the sugar or cream if you are of that persuasion.
Hell, if coffee itself was caloric, I would be as big as a Dutch whale at a chicken wing shake drinking contest.

I like the way Michael Pollan (Omnivore's Dilemma) put it.
"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants"

Seriously though I don't think you can go wrong with any kind of seasoned sauteed vegetables over brown rice. The addition of beans or small amounts of eggs, fish, or meat will get you your protein without too much fat. Add fruit for dessert and oatmeal for breakfast and you can't get much healthier. If the diet is for weight loss purposes only then exercise will be more important than any diet IMO.

This is a great post; Eating what you like and less of it...

A way to boost metabolism is to eat less per meal, but more meals per day. I am unaware of your eating habits now, but it would be good to eat around 6 times a day, and include GOOD fats such as fish oil and almonds. The thing that gets most people is the sugars: sodas, creamers, butter, and dressings. A simple way to go about a food is to look at the nutritional facts...the less ingredients it has, the more likely it is better for you. All of the ingredients added to foods are by-products and are over-manufactured. They are simply fillers that are not healthy. Hope this helps some
