My diet lately has been mostly "snacking" on fruits

Sounds like it's pretty low on protein depending on your definition of every now and then. Try to include protein with every meal/snack.

I'm trying to lose weight and protein puts a ton of calories in my system. When I do eat protein, it's usually my whole day's worth of it. The rest of the day I eat mostly fruits and veggies and bran cereal. I stopped buying bread, dairy, pasta, etc. because they're way too high in calories and too tempting to overreat.

>protein puts a ton of calories in my system
what the fuck are you talking about, protein is the most important of all three 3 macros. get your protein then worry about the rest. Fruits and veges have little calories.

I know protein is important but calories are more important when losing weight. I don't want to consume 40% of my calories in a single meal.

What you're doing is great but you should add chicken/turkey breast, tuna, cottage cheese or whatever into every meal, there is no argument about this. What's your maintenance and how many calories do you think are in 150g of chicken?

wtf are you even talking about? you havent told us how many calories you eat in a day and somehow consuming protein always amounts to 40 percent of your calories???

I'm shooting for 900kcals per day. I want to drop 10lbs before May

Protein and carbs yield 4kcals/g. Ethanol yields 7kcals/g. Fats yield 9kcals/g.
