Lean protein is your friend! Does not need to be organic.
How are you cooking, or ordering the fish?
Legumes are fine. Where do the baked beans come from? Homemade or canned? Sugar could be an issue here.
Non potato veg is fine. But how are you eating them? And taters are not the enemy, it's how we cook them and what we dress them with.
Nuts and seeds are ok, but a handful, is not measuring! You need to get a scale and weigh a handful! Could be you are over or under estimating the portion.
I LOVE, LOVE, peanut butter, however, it is way to easy, to go wrong, with portions here. Again, you need the tools and actually measure!
Yogurt. When doing yogurt, fat and sugar, on the nutrition label, need to be, single digits, and protein a double digit. Many so called healthy yogurts, are not.
Cottage cheese, low fat, is ok, other dairy? Hmm, what do you mean by that? Cheese, which I love, we need to be very careful with our choices here.
I LOVE, LOVE, cheese. However, after a long time of making choices, it either needs to serve me as a healthy calcium choice, or REALLY, be a TASTY, part of the dish. I have fallen in love with a bit of low fat feta cheese, in a salad. It brings an acidic bite, that pairs well with fruit.
Olives are ok, in moderation.
Condiments, as you listed, not that bad.
Full fat dressing. If you like ranch, low fat buttermilk, 0 fat greek yogurt, and ranch seasoning, make your own. Way healthier and still tastes great!
Why would you eat a breaded fast food? Google the recipe, for breaded chicken nuggets. It will scare your pants off. The chicken, gets, slopped, sliced, diced, turned into a slurry, (aka, sloppy soup concoction), then they turn it back into something that looks like chicken, but not really, and then they bread it, with who know what, but last time I looked, Mcdonalds Chicken Mcnuggets, recipe included, something along the lines of glutal alchohol, which is flammable!
Then, you don't eat bread, cereal, corn, yada, yada, blah, blah, whatever!
First and foremost you NEED TO TRACK WHAT YOU ARE EATING! For a lot of reasons. Weight loss, not being the first priority. Tracking, helps you figure out how what foods affect your body.
Personally, I am medically diagnosed, allergic to chocolate. Gives me a God awful belly ache. I choose to not eat that.
Through tracking, I have figured out how much pasta and bread I can eat without, being bloated. I can have some, but don't get crazy.
Dairy, not an issue for me.
Tracking is very important!
If you have a car, do you not keep track of when you need to get it serviced? Do you keep track of your bank account? Track paying bills? Do you track when to change your furnace filter? Your dental check ups, eye exams, pet care? And so on and so forth. So, WHY DO YOU NOT TRACK your NUTRITION, and FITNESS?
You can replace a lot of "things" but, pretty tough to replace your body!
