    Pretty easy, just put all that info into my fitnes pal, set it to lose 1-2 pounds a week, and it will tell you how many calories to eat. Eat that many calories by weighing your food and entering it in the diary.

    If you add exercise, then eat back about 50% of the calories you burn doing exercise.

    Track your progress, if you're not losing weight after 3 weeks or so, then you need to either decrease your calories or increase you exercise.


    I recommend adding resistance training 3x a week minimum to preserve your muscle while losing fat.
