The healthy eating plan known as NOOM categorizes foods as either RED, GREEN, or YELLOW. One is given varied amounts in each category depending on things like fiber, calories, fat, protein, etc. Green foods are almost unlimited, Yellow foods are allowed generously, and obviously the Red category is severely limited.

This is by no means a commercial for NOOM or any other plan for that matter, but I will say that if you can get a hold of one of their food charts, it will be of great interest. I think they have really nailed it when it comes to a healthy eating set up. I have successfully done NOOM and it worked for me to loose the weight I needed to loose, but on an ongoing basis it was too complicated. It was really good to know and make a habit though of keeping track of types of food eaten rather than calories or some other type of measurement.
