I also agree with Sue in regards to cutting out foods such as sweets etc. Fast food is another to consider, as many contain little nutritional value.

If you're intending to have something sweet, try and replace it with some fruit. It'll still contain sugar but it's naturally occurring and also contains valuable vitamins and minerals that your body needs to keep going.

I would definitely seek help from a dietician as they're able to help prescribe a meal plan or diet that's based around your height, age, current weight etc; or at the very least, provide you with some more nutritional guidance.
Thanks for the tips. I'm gonna try getting a dietician soon.
