I joined MFP recently as well. My tip would be to ensure everything is logged, I was really surprised the number of calories I was consuming!

Probably the biggest/most important thing is to weigh/measure & log everything accurately. If you don't have a digital food scale, it's a game-changer.2

Don't let the joke-y title put you off, it's solid, common-sense, practical information.0
