    It’s a great starting plan! Start reading about Macronutrients too and what ratio of protein carbs and fat will work for you.

    I would say shelve that until you get accustomed to counting your calories. Most people get a sense over time what foods leave them more satisfied and will naturally start making swaps for more filling things, and what's filling (protein, carbs, fiber) varies from person to person. Many people never give any particular attention to their macro percentages, unless they have particular fitness goals.

    I agree it this, it's best to keep it simple at first. I've restarted a few times, and I find I've done best when I've kept it simple. Even if you just log your calories at first, eat like normal, log everything you eat, and then see how you can change. One little change at a time.

    Right now my plan is no processed starches or sugars for two weeks, and to stay under my allotted 1600 calories.

    Log my food, try and stay within my calories, workout at least 4 times a week, but other than that no real plan. Slow and steady weight loss is my goal.

    It is a good start. I have a plan for the next year, but that may change depending upon how things go. It is important to have a solid plan, but it is equally important to be willing to change that plan if it is not producing results.
