MyFitnessPal is good, but I find Cronometer to be more interesting because it gives you info on each nutrient that you're getting. I do that when I have calories left and don't know what to eat as a side dish. I just look up on Cronometer what I'm lacking, let's say selenium. I'll google "selenium food source" and here is what I find : nuts & seeds, fish, spinach, bananas, potatoes, lettuce, carrots, brewer's yeast, mushrooms, brown rice. I can add a side of carrots and spinach to my meal and it won't add much more calories, upgrade white rice to brown rice, or even ditch it for potatoes. This allows you to have variety without uping the kcal count that much. I do this mostly for minerals because these are the ones I don't get enough of if I'm not careful... But they're so easy to fill with low cal veggies!
Losing weight is good but if you can make your meals more healthy, and get enough nutrients, it's better.
Hope it can help you and motivate you to eat better!
