2. If your calorie requirements are, for example, 2000 calories per day not to gain weight or lose weight, you may then want to cut back from baseline by about 500-1000 calories per day. If you strictly manage to your calories per day, you are expected to lose 1-2 lbs of weight per week.

3. Know your foods and look at the nutrition labels of products.

4. Go for smaller portions when you eat.

5. Start the day right with a protein based, nutrient rich breakfast. Not having breakfast has been associated with excess body weight, especially among children and adolescents.
