What you eat is important because you want good nutrition with fewer calories……
Add volume to your diet (eating wet). Eat as many foods as you can with high water content/low calories. Foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables are examples. These types of foods help you to feel fuller (satiety) while eating fewer calories. For instance, grapes with the same caloric amount as raisins will provide more satiety and theoretically help you eat less the rest of the day. Other good foods would be whole grain pastas, rice, whole grain breads and cereals, soups, salads and skinless white chicken/turkey.
A caloric imbalance is the cause of weight gain (consuming more calories than you burn in a day). If you want to speed up your metabolism and burn more calories, exercise regularly (strength training and cardio exercise).
Eat small meals every 3-4 hours to keep your metabolism humming and to keep your body from shifting to “starvation mode” (storing fat).
