The best thing to do is simply to log your food for a week. Don't change anything about your food intake, but log Everything. Once you establish your caloric baseline you can start to make informed decisions about your eating.
In my case, I started my journey at ~1500 calories a day and I wasn't budging. Turns out, I was starving myself and didn't realize it. I was able to slowly increase my caloric intake (about +200 calories/day every 2-3 weeks) and got to a point where I started losing weight. I kept that going until I stopped losing weight (somewhere around 3200 calories!) and established that as my baseline. Now when I need to drop weight, I'll cut 200 calories/day and see how my body reacts.
But at least now, I have data to work with. What gets measured gets fixed. Otherwise, you'll always be guessing.7 -
Great progress!!! You'll have the rest off in no time.0

Fantastic! Like many, I find I have to eat more/eat healthier foods as opposed to eating less. But, do whatever works for you! Keep it up!2

I am eating more salad, eggs and meat. Less bread and take out foods. Logging intake is definitely helpful.0

Be sure no matter how the day goes- Log what you eat. Eat too much that one day, Take the time to log it. The next day will go much better. Water. Be sure to drink plenty of water to.4
