Yogurt is good source of CLA which can burn fat. Cottage Cheese-look for non fat. Try chicken (GRILLED), NO FRIED FOODS, turkey, roast beef, and skim milk, veggies obviously.

You did starve yourself. Even if you don’t want to count calories every day you should add up quickly a day or two’s worth to make sure you’re in the right ballpark. You need a bare minimum of 1200 calories but 1500 calories is optimum for losing weight. A quick estimate (you don’t have portion sizes, so I’ll guess average serving sizes) you ate fewer than 400 calories.
If you’re having trouble remembering what to eat, take a look at the food pyramid we all learned about in grade school. You need 2 servings of meat or meat alternatives, 3-6 servings of grains (whole grains preferred), 2-3 servings of dairy, 2 servings of fruit and 3 servings or more of veggies. You can and should also have some oil with that (many vitamins, such as Vitamin A and vitamin E need some fat in your diet or they cannot be absorbed).
I’m eating 1200 calories a day (under the guidance of a dietitian), and for dinner I had 1/2 cup of pasta with sauce, 3 meatballs, about 3/4 cup of veggies added to the sauce and a salad on the side. Other dinners I have are usually a chicken breast with 1/2 cup of rice or 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes and 1 cup of steamed veggies, or 3 oz of pork roast with oven roasted veggies (potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini, etc). For lunch at work I typically have a salad with lots of veggies and either sunflower seed or nuts on it or a chicken breast, and some whole wheat crackers.
I’d suggest sitting down with a pen and paper and planning out tomorrow a bit better. A starvation diet like what you did today will just leave you feeling deprived and your body will revolt and make you crave food more and more. Eat a balanced diet though and you’ll be able to eat well a lot longer (for life, actually)

You have to eat more then that get a calorie counting book and count calories. Aim for between 1000-1500 calories a day!!!
Here are some suggestions:
Sandwich Meat: Turkey breast,Roast Beef, Grilled Chicken Breast, and Ham are all under 100 calories. Use low fat bread with them. Pepper ridge Farm Very Thin White is 80 calories for 2 slices.
1 Oscar Mayer Cheese Dog is only 140 calories.
The Laughing Cow Light Gourmet Cheese bites are 35 calories a piece and can be good with low fat crackers for a snack.
Quaker Lower Sugar Apples and Cinnamon is 110 calories a packet.
Most soups are under 100 calories a cup.
Smart Ones, Lean CUISINE and Healthy Choice frozen dinners are usually low in calories.
Vegetables and fruits need to be a big part of your diet as well.
Good-luck.
Tomorrow try:
Breakfast: 1 small banana
1/2 cup Bran Flakes
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon Sugar
Coffe or tea
all this is around 220 calories.
Lunch:3 ounce lean Broiled Ground Beef Patty
1/.2 hamburger bun
1 teaspoon Catsup or mustard
1 cup lettuce
Blue Cheese Salad Dressing
1/2 cup skim milk
Coffee or tea
around 350 calories for lunch
Dinner: Stuffed Cube Steak
Baked Potatoe
1 cup lettuce
1 small tomato
1 tablespoon low cal Italian Salad Dressing
1 cup skim milk
Coffee or tea
Around 550 for supper
This whole day is around 1120 calories. Look at this days worth of food and look at yours. Do you see the difference?
