This is what I did:

1. Set up a target (lose/gain/keep weight, etc)

2. Learned basics about macros, calories and my daily caloric intake

3. Picked up a diet or macro distribution. For example 45% carbs, 35% protein, 20% fat.

4. Used an app (tried many, ended up using Eat This Much) to figure out a meal plan. Basically created 3 meals and used the app to tune the macros to fit #3

5. Make it as simple as possible to do. Easy to prepare meals (salads, veggie medleys, chicken, etc). Buy things for a fee days and pre cut everything so it’s easy to put together

It took me a while to read a bit about it but now it’s really easy to do and adjust as I go.
