Food Confusion

Hello,
I am new here and am a bit confused about all the the meal and food advise out there. I was wondering if someone could please look at a day for me and see if I'm on the right track. Any advice is appreciated :)
First, I am currently 200lbs and want to get down to 130 - no set timeline.
So, today for example I ate:
Breakfast
Non-fat plain yogurt, cut up pineapple, ground flax seeds, coffee with milk (all measured) = 350 calories
Lunch
Roasted chicken, raw veggies, dip, tea with milk (all measured) = 300 calories
Dinner:
Quinoa, ground beef, veggies (all measured) = 400 calories
Desert:
Dried fruit (measured) = 100 calories
I dont do a lot of exercise - I basically walk to and from work which is about 35 minutes each way - so basically an hour of walking 5 days per week.
Thank you all for your help!!

Hey, welcome. going to need some more info. First get your BMR then cut like 500 calories from that.. 1100 seems low. 1200 is like a minimum.
 
My BMR (according to a BMR Calculator) is 1670 (I have zero idea what that means, but I will look it up) - so if I subtract 500 thats 1170!

Yeah But make it at least 1200 a day... minimum.
BMR is the amount of daily energy expended while at rest in a neutrally temperate environment. <--- wiki haha.
 
I would say go read the stickys in the nutrition and other threads. also read some of the food diaries and start one your self.
