    Consume less.

    Log accurately, monitor weight trend.

    When weight loss is happening at a reasonable rate consume that amount of calories.

    As weight loss progresses adjust calories dependant on weight trend results.

    Set up a reasonable deficit on mfp. If you are very obese that might be 2 pounds per week, but if not then 1 pound per week or even .5 pound if you don't have a lot to lose. Sync your fitbit with mfp. Eat the calorie level mfp gives you plus at least half of your fitbit adjustment. Make sure you set your fitbit to enable negative calories. Eat foods that you like that will keep you at your goal. As you go along you will find which foods keep you satiated and which things leave you hungry. After about 4 weeks reevaluate. If you are losing faster than you expect then you can eat back more of your exercise adjustment. If you are losing slower than expected then eat less of the adjustment. Get a digital food scale and weigh as much of your food as possible. Good luck.

    Just enter your current stats into MFP and it will figure out your calorie intake amount for you. Then start accurately tracking your calorie intake in your MFP food diary area (using a food scale is very helpful for accuracy with portion sizes). For weight loss calorie intake is what matters and not so much macros ratios. MFP tracks all of it for you, but you want to focus mostly on hitting your calorie target :)
