    Calorie deficit for weight loss.

    Meal timing is personal preference.

    think he's looking for something more specific without having to do all the research himself.
    eat three or four meals a day. eat lean meat, lots of veges, wholegrain carbs, non processed foods. Don't eat takeaways, cakes, fries, chips, chocolate bars, soda drinks.
    try to exercise most days. find a sport you love. weight train 2-3 x a week and eat protein and carbs (like a banana and protein shake ) straight after. do moderate cardio the other days. walk alot and enjoy outside.
    just fit the exercise into your routine around work and stuff.
    measure your results and if its not working after a month tweak it.

    Do the Fast Diet - Google it. I did it for three weeks and lost 7lbs. I then went to Spain for a week (eating and drinking), had a week at home not doing it ( I had an Indian takeout Friday and a Chinese Saturday, plus alcohol, cakes, crisps etc) and I've not put any weight back on. Started the Fast Diet again today. It really works!!!

    No. Just no.

    Eat food. It's about moderation not deprivation.
    Find something you love doing and keep doing it.

    No one can give you a specific plan. You have to figure that out and what works for you.

    And...

    15 percent body fat? That sounds very lean and healthy! Depends on your goals - do you want to build strength and look toned? Or want to run long distances? Just be an all around athlete?

    Don't knock the Fast Diet. Buy the book and read all about it. It's got major health benefits. Although you limit your calorie intake two days per week, you can be really clever and actually eat quite a lot of food.

    Why limit your intake 2 days a week? I eat a lot of food AND I am losing weight.

    You do not have to eliminate takeaways, cakes, fries, chips etc. (a calorie deficit is all that is needed for weight loss and there is no reason to eliminate items you enjoy, unless there is a medical condition.)


    ETA: People are still going to need more information from the OP.

    Some people do a 5:2 approach, also known as IF.

    All you need for weight loss is calorie deficit. Set up MFP correctly (choose your actual activity level and set yourself to lose 1 lb per week unless you're 50 pounds or more overweight) and eat back half of your exercise calories.

    Macros/exercise for body composition. Aim for 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body mass and .35 grams of fat per pound of body weight. The rest can be carbs. Personally I do flexible dieting so I'm not cutting out any foods. I just try to spend 80% of my calories on whole nutrient-dense foods and that leaves 20% for discretionary calories.

    I'd recommend a compound lifting routine with built-in progressive loading. I started with Stronglifts and now I'm on to a variation on Wendler's 5/3/1.

    The idea is that you eat at maintenance 5 days per week and then you have a severe deficit 2 days. It should balance out to a moderate deficit over the course of the week. It's not for me but many people swear by it.

    It's certain the quickest and most effective thing that I have ever done. I am actually a very healthy eater (my downfalls are chocolate and wine) but wasn't losing weight anymore. The fast days are quite easy to do - I'm really just cutting out carbs, bumping up my vegetables, eating lots of prawns and not having chocolate/ wine two days a week. The other five days, I can eat what I want, but I don't actually feel that hungry.

    Would not work for me, but to each his own.

    I would rather eat what I want, within moderation, every day rather than having a "fast day". It's the only way I have been able to avoid binges.
