everyone already gave you great advice, do what they said.
and if i may add....
according to a 2009 study from Purdue University, a high protein breakfast will keep you feeling fuller throughout the day and help prevent overeating. two eggs for breakfast, maybe a slice of canadian bacon.
eat throughout the day. raw almonds are a great snack, especially if you stuff them in pitted dates. three dates and a handful of almonds will keep you going.
avoid processed foods as much as possible. if a meal comes in a box, it's probably not nutritionally sound, no matter how "healthy" it claims to be. yeah it might be a bit more work, but cook your meals at night, maybe once a week make a huge pot of chili or something and freeze it in serving size portions so you can have it throughout the week.
eat whole grains as much as you can. steel cut oats may take 30 minutes to make, but they taste better and are healthier than the instant stuff, which has waaaaaay too much sugar. and they make you feel fuller, again helping to avoid overeating and eating bad crap.
there is no such thing as too many fruits or vegetables. eat them all you want, the more the better. from time to time i eat strictly vegetarian (i still eat fish and cheese and eggs, just no meat) for 1-3 months and i always feel so much better afterward, my skin is clearer, i have more energy, i lose weight. but i love a well cooked piece of meat so there is that.
