>>264666 you're not eating enough if you feel like ordering a pizza. i posted my situation like a week ago here, and got a shit ton of great advice. i'll summarize it for you:
http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ calculate your BMR. multiply it by 1.2 and take away 500~1000. whatever is left is what you should eat a day.
First off: No juices, sodas (diet and normal), or anything else that's extremely sugary. Coffee and tea is okay, but don't pour the sugar in. Lower it as much as you can, you'll get used to it after a while. Drink lots of water.
Stay away from processed foods and starchy vegetables (white/wheat bread, potatoes, beans, white rice.) Eat whole grain bread, lots of greens, etc. You can allow yourself an egg or two for breakfast during the week occasionally. What I usually do is add in a ton of vegetables (usually an onion and a tomato) and add in two eggs - it makes a lot of food. Eat with a slice of toasted whole grain bread and some tea and it'll hold you over for a long while.
Try to eat 3 small meals with snacks in between. The whole 6 meal thing doesn't really work unless you don't have a job and have nothing to do all day. For snacks eat nuts/fruits (nuts are great, since you can take them to work and don't have to worry about how they get.)
Eat lots of lean proteins, chicken, seafood, etc. If you eat a salad for lunch, add in some chicken (grilled or sauteed in very little oil.) Adding protein to a salad will help you feel full, which is what a lot of people say discourages them from eating salads.
Dinner should be your smallest meal, anything not excessive in carbs (pasta, white rice, mashed potatoes, beans, etc) should be healthy. A piece of meat with some veggies (steamed broccoli/carrots/zucchini? hell, sauteed is good too) and maybe a salad?
And remember, don't keep your calorie count extremely specific. A rough idea is all that you want.
