We are healthy eaters. We have family histories on both sides and eat healthy to try to prevent history from repeating itself. Fortunately, we like healthy foods as we were both raised that way and that's how we're raising our son. So, we naturally are drawn to healthy menu choices, even when on vacation. And you can definitely find healthier choices at WDW. Plus, I've never had an issue with a WDW restaurant changing the way an item is prepared when we ask (i.e. asking them to use olive oil instead of butter, substituting something for a cream sauce or serving a sauce on the side, grilling or sauteeing something instead of frying etc.).
That being said, we do cheat when at WDW. We don't pass up dessert if we want it, but try to split a dessert between my husband and myself (our son usually wants his own, but doesn't always finish it). If we want steak, we eat it or if there is something just too good to pass up, we will try it. We just eat until we are full and don't stuff ourselves. If our son has fries with a meal, we might sneak a few, but we don't really like fried foods, so one or two is enough.
To help us stay on course, I bring dried fruits and nuts, protein/whole grain snack bars, healthy 100 calorie snacks and homemade granolas from home when we go to WDW. We snack on these during the day and also use them for breakfast. Also, we order food from Garden Grocer for the room (we stay at the WL and have never had an issue with our food arriving when scheduled or kept at the appropriate temp). Last year, we ordered skim milk, yogurt, fruit, water, and gatorade. It was nice to have these things available to us in the morning for breakfast and also to have water and fruit to bring into the parks. You might want to check out their website (gardengrocer.com) to see if it would work for you. Also, in the mornings, we use our snack credits for whole wheat bagels and peanut butter or some dried cereal. It's a nice start to the day and closer to what we'd have at home. But, of course, we always manage to have a cinnamon roll from the Main Street Bakery for at least one breakfast. And of course, some candy from Goofy's Candy Co. Too good to pass up. But, in all our years of going to WDW, I always manage to return home at the same weight I was before I left. For us, at WDW, the key has been everything we want to try, but in moderation. Good luck with your planning and have a wonderful trip!
