Actually what you don't eat may be more important, especially for me since I needed to break habits of 6pk/day diet pepsi with boo-koo jelly donuts, candy bars, malts, mashed taters, etc etc etc. But enough food porn. I eat meat, typically ~4oz/meal and nonstarchy veggies like asparagus, salads, green beans, cauliflower, etc. I like chicken thighs baked with crispy skins, steaks, BACON, sausage, hamburgers(no buns!), fish, shrimp, pork, ham, etc... My fat/protein/carb ratio avgs about 56/36/8 with avg cals for the last 4 months ~1100/day... I know that's very low, but I do get my required protein in and seem to have plenty of energy for my retired 'light activity level'... Normally my total carbs are <20g/day and protein ~90+g... I normally restrict cheese to a half oz(an oz tops), occasionally will have a few berries, etc, and a half oz of almonds or pecans is a rare 'treat'... If that sounds rather austere and unsustainable, well... it's worked for me so far... Good Luck!
Edit: P.S. In a recent Letterman interview Alec Baldwin gave out similar list of things he didn't eat and Letterman asked him what was left and joked Alec lost all his wt eating only pocket lint...
