Find out how many calories you burn in a day (BMR + activity), subtract 500-1000 from that. Thats how many calories you want to eat in a day. Eat like 40% protein/40% carbs/20% fat of your calories to start out with. You can get protein from like boneless skinless chicken breast, whey protein, lean beef, tuna, cod, turkey, etc. The carbs you consume should be low in glycemic index (ie no sugars or bleached stuff) so eat like whole grain breads, oatmeal, brown rice - you can eat fruit too. And consume healthy fats like olive oil, natural pb, fish oil, etc. Do some cardio like running or what ever, and make sure you lift weights too so that your body doesnt catabolize its muscle over fat as much. Once you get into it read tom venuto's burn the fat feed the muscle, it has all you need to know.
