Started on this diet after consulting a family friend who's a dietician/trainer. Working out well so far. Diets that I had previously tried (Keto, Mediterranean) didn't feel sustainable long term, but this seems much better in contrast. I do a bit of late evening cardio, alternating running and walking through a 3 mile park trail. Currently at 25 BMI and not a whole lot of muscle, body fat ~30%. Goal is to get that down to about 20% while adding strength training soon.
Ingredients+rough calorie counts:
Breakfast, bottom right – scrambled omelette (3 whole eggs + veggies + a few croutons on the side, 350 cal) [sometimes I swap this out for boiled eggs with salt and a few seasonings when I don't have time to cook in the morning, subtracts about 150 cal]
Lunch, top right – Salad (Romaine, Spring Mix, baby spinach, 10 cherry tomatoes, 150g shredded chicken, 2 tb olive garden salad dressing, 100g nuts, 50g croutons; 500 calories)
Evening snack, top left – 150g watermelon, protein bar (250 calories)
Post cardio/Dinner, bottom left – whey protein shake, greek yogurt, apple (500 calories)
Totals: ~1600 calories
Any ideas/suggestions on alternative dishes/lower calorie ingredients is appreciated! Thank you for reading.

Fit crunch and watermelon is a game changer, sometimes if I don’t have access to fit crunch I get the power crunch bars and they’re pretty filling too!
