You want to start losing weight but can't figure out where to start.
My suggestions:
Every morning prepare 3 whey protein shakes. Drink one. Take one or two of the others with you when you leave the house.
You need to eat a LOW calorie protein every 2 hours.
Keep track of your calories. They need to remain low - for me that means under 1500 daily calories. My maintenance calories is 2000 a day due to my naturally low metabolism and sedentary lifestyle.
Journal your foods, and also moods and pains. I prefer the Diet Tracker at Fitclick.com found here http://www.fitclick.com/calorie_counter?dt=5/30/2014#.U4jSYyhwVRg. This works for me - they have a phone app also. There are many available. The important thing is to use it!
I enjoy my decaf coffee every morning. With it I have a protein bar - I watch the calorie content on these. I prefer the Zone bars or the new ones from Quest. Find your favorite any brand-- just be sure to keep the calories under 250 but as low as possible. The protein has to be at least 15 grams but higher is better.
Remember Carbs make hungries and protein kills hungries.
Watch what you eat. Plan ahead. Take it with you; don't get caught in the car and hungry while you are driving past one of those drive-thru fast food places.
Meals for your first day:
1.shake
2. coffee/protein bar
3. shake
4. 3 hard boiled eggs, low cal mayo or salad dressing, lettuce, tomato, high protein flat bread (Damascus, Joe's, etc) that has under 110 calories and 10 grams protein.
5. shake
6. dinner can be shrimp or salmon or other fish, or broiled chicken, or high protein pasta, etc - you figure out what works for you. Use your calorie calculator and plan a meal.
Leave out rice, white potatoes, processed foods. Quinoa is a good suggestion.
Do you need snacks at night? There are 25-40 calorie ice pops or yogurt pops for 80 calories. Find something in the hundred calorie group but not a carb filled problem. 2 carb filled cookies can be 100 calories but the chemistry is bad in your body.
Each of these meals is eaten about 2 hours after the last one.
