They do make fat-free mayo (kraft, and I'm not talking about miracle whip which is gross tasting), fat-free butter (promise), fat-free cheese (kraft) and also a low-fat peanut butter (peter pan).
I agree with the guy who said bananas are great. Any fruit and vegetable is good. I do limit my bannana in the morning though because of it's high carb content. Besides, it's best to eat a variety of foods.
Anything that's processed, enriched, has preservatives, bleached, a lot of starch or high fructose content I stay away from. Eating complex carbs in the morning or pre-workout is the most beneficial time to eat them. Unless you want to seriously bulk. In that case eat a lot of complex carbs. Of course high protein meals are always essential.
Also, avoid over eating (eat 'til about 80% full) and chew your food fully before swallowing. When, how and what you eat is very important.
