    Congrats on getting started! My best piece of advice is make changes you can actually live with for life. I restricted so much my first time around that I eventually just broke and couldn't do it anymore and gained half my weight back!! So start slow, give yourself time to really learn what works for you. I found I really need protein for breakfast every day if I want to make it to lunch and avoid snacking, but I absolutely NEED an afternoon snack. Go figure. Without it I was munching all through cooking dinner, adding nearly 300 calories a day! Because I still ate the dinner I was cooking. Of course that's just my experience I just hope I can save at least one person from making a similar error. I totally plan on having a pop tart with peanut butter for a snack tomorrow and feel no guilt because I met my goals all week! Feel free to add me as a friend!
