Use MyFitnessPal and track what you eat. I’d suggest 40% carbs, 30% fat, 30% protein. Find a calorie calculator online and determine what your base calorie intake is and just try getting the %s right before actually cutting calories. See food as fuel. You won’t get bulky; that is a myth. Read Stacy Sims’ book Roar. You can do this!
Macronutrient percentages do not matter for weight loss. Just try to hit the minimum protein, fat and fiber numbers and fill remaining calories with whatever you please. Of course for those trying to lose weight the wise thing to do is to pick low calorie high volume foods. However, even if the remaining calories were all chocolate, the impact on weight loss will be the same. The key is to figure out what is sustainable for the individual. Some prefer high carb, others keto, but ultimately everyone who maintains a consistent calorie deficit will lose weight.
