How to Diet Down NOW

I’d like to eat a ‘perfect’ diet for a few weeks and see how it makes me feel, ie getting enough fibre, protein, calories, not much salt etc. I’ve sat and looked up nutritional guidelines for everything but its massively confusing trying to create enough meal plans to last. Can anybody help me? Is there a website which gives set meal plans for a healthy Diet?

I’m female, 18, vegetarian, and 5 foot 5 if that’s important.

Thanks

There are five major food groups, Carbohydrates (Pasta, Potatoes, Bread), Protein (Meat,Fish,Egg)
Fruit and Vegetables, Milk and Dairy products and Foods containing Fats and sugars. You should avoid the last one because that is the unhealthy one and would not help your perfect diet, have it occasionally. And dont dismiss fat and sugary foods altogether. Eat a good breakfast with simple carbs for the day, and include some fruit in there. Eat a lunch of Fruit and veg, simple carbs and protein. And the same for dinner. Include healthy snacks.
