One concern may be..are you satiated with the types and amounts these foods? If you are hungry after lowering the calories, that isn’t a long term solution to weight maintenance.

Here's a new article posted yesterday on this very topic. It has lists of satiating foods you might add for a more varied menu:

Yes and no, I really enjoy eating fruit so that helps a lot because I know within reason is all pretty low in calories so while I don't go crazy with it, I know I can have a good amount and not kill my calories. I eat a lot of melon (watermelon and cantaloupe) due to its high content of water, watermelon for me is very satisfying so it helps the sweet tooth. When i was doing low carb, I wasn't doing any fruit, but now since I'm not really counting carbs but calories I eat fruit because I knw the calorie intake is low.

The other thing I realized that was killing me before was salad, I'm not a fan of lettuce but with enough salad dressing i like it, the problem is I had to use so much and it was about 500 calories in just the dressing alone and that added to what else I was eating through out the day I think is what was stopping me from losing weight, mayo was the other culprit, I figured out between mayo and salad dressing I was taking in almost 1000 calories just in those two condiments alone, that doesn't include any other food, so i think a lot of my issue was caloric intake, and even more so bad caloric intake. While mayo and dressing was virtually no carbs, it was a ton of empty calories.
