I'm going to make this simple so you can follow it, but I hope you don't think it's TOO simple that you don't think I'm serious!! This is my opinion, my personal plan:

- LOTS of fruits and veggies
- stay away from processed foods (white flour/sugar)
- tofu / low fat protein sources (if you're really gung-ho, non-animal if you want)
- limit or exclude dairy (usu high fat) - and go for soymilk, etc

It will depend on your metabolism and what you've done to it with starving yourself, but normally clean, unprocesed foods are a sure way to make sure you don't gain fat. They are low-cal and most bodies burns them extremely efficiently.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there's anything more I can do!
