Eating healthy and daily exercise. Counting your calories and being active is the best way, good luck!

As long as you are eating at a calorie deficit this could work. Along with a bazillion other methods that put you at a calorie deficit. Before counting anything, count your calories. Weigh your food. Eat well balanced diet. Don't get hung up with focusing on a food group or eliminated food groups. All foods are good!0 -

Unless you have a medical reason to, it isn't necessary to count carbs. Calories, though, yes.2 -

What are your stats? You would take off from your TDEE, but that's awfully low.0

Eat fewer calories than you burn.0

I tried counting calories for over a year trying to maintain my previous weight loss and ended up gaining back 70 pounds.
Counting carbs works way better for me0 -
You burn a certain number of calories per day. Be it from working, random walking, working out, and just body functions of being alive.
You typically consume a certain number of calories every day.
If you consume more than you burn, you will gain weight. If you consume as many as you burn you will not gain and you will not lose. If you consume fewer than you burn you will lose weight. And this is what you want.
Rule of thumb is, if you consume 500 fewer calories and your burn everyday, you will lose one pound per week.
How do you know how many calories you consume? Weigh your food and log it in MFP!0 -

Have you entered your information into MFP yet? Your current weight, the fact that you're sedentary, how much you want to lose each week (1 lb/week), etc.?
How many calories did MFP give you?
Eat that or just ever-so-slightly less.
How do you know how many calories you're eating? You weigh and measure and log your food in the food diary here on MFP. Be honest and accurate. If you do a search for a food and the calories seem really low, do some further investigation to double check.
If you exercise, you can add that to the exercise diary here on MFP ... but estimate low. MFP and other exercise calculators tend to calculate high, telling you you're burning off more than you really are. I tend to pick a slower walking and cycling pace than what I'm really doing to get a lower number.
And then many of us only eat 50-75% of our exercise calories back.

How do you count the calories of a homemade meal?
You know what you put into it and how much, so you just need to add up the calories of everything that went into it.
For example a ham sandwich
two pieces of bread, 80 calories each = 160 calories
2 ounces of ham, about 45 calories per ounce = 90 calories
one slice of cheese - I like cheese!, 40 calories per slice = 40 calories
Total calories in the sandwich = 160 + 90 + 40 = 290 calories.0 -
