LOTS to lose, long way to go.

> I know that I need to be sensible to start with, and just start eating 2000 calories a day. To be as heavy as I am, I probably haven't done that in a long time, so this I'm starting sensibly before I try anything else.

Right there with you, OP.

My plan - and it's worked successfully in the past - is to focus solely on hitting caloric goals. I don't care if it's 2000kcal of Twinkies as long as it's just 2000kcal. Past that, I'm going to be tracking protein intake as I get back to the gym, but other than that, I just don't care for now. I'd rather have a simple plan that's sustainable rather than complex devotion to macros and food types that I won't keep up with.
