Calorie deficit newbie here too! This helped me get started:
- Find your maintenance calories (online calculators are your friend!)
- Aim for a 300-500 calorie deficit for healthy weight loss.
- Track your food with a free app - stay mindful!
- Focus on whole foods - fruits, veggies, lean protein & whole grains.
- Don't ditch healthy fats - keeps you fuller for longer.
Remember, consult a doctor or registered dietitian for a personalized plan! Good luck! #caloriedeficitjourney
