Try eating five to six small meals a day of lean protein (probably two chicken breasts is a serving for you), a cup of rice or oatmeal and lots of green vegetables - you will feel good, have more energy and not worry too much about calories. If you find you are hungry inbetween meals you could try a lower carb protein shake. You probably have a lot of muscle mass, so keep up the protein. Good luck!
