Can anyone help me come up with a diet plan?

[Reason2BTubby]

I'm about 230 pounds right now, My Ultimate goal is 185, but short term I want to lose at least 20 ibs for now. Probably about 2 ibs per week. I plan on eating about 2000-2500 calories a day.

Can you guys give me specific food plan for example

Day 1
Breakfast- Oat meal
Lunch- Chicken
Snack- Greek Yogurt
Dinner- Pasta

I feel like if i had a plan that I had to stick to, and knew exactly what I had to eat then i'll be more likely to follow it.
I would like a more of a variety of foods, because when I start to eat healthier, i eat too much of the same kinds of food, and I get really really bored and end up stopping. I want to change and I believe if you guys could help me out I'll be able to do it :)

by the way I was very active for the past 3-4 months due to wrestling, and now my season is over. I plan on going into a gym, and probably start doing mma.

Meal plans are a good start but those require a lot of self control and food knowledge.

The best advice I can give you is to not skip or cheat meals. Don't eat out either by hats a HUGE no no. I can't provide a meal plan since I don't know your workout or dietary restrictions. I can however tell you to check out your local book store (chapters indigo) and see the ranges of books. See what can work for you.

Look up the Paleo diet (it's not really a diet just clean eating) it's amazing...
Although like anything it's not for everyone.
