No idea where to start I'm so confused as to what to immediately cut out of my diet and what exercises for a beginner to start with?

What should I start eating?

I'm 6 foot or 6 foot 1 and 195 pounds with a dad bad right now that I want to at least turn into some muscle

    • Water. No drinks other than water or black coffee/ tea.
    • Understanding nutritional value better and counting calories (for a while). Intuitive eating has been sven better for me after that.
    • OMAD. One meal a day. Suited my hunger pattern for a long time and allowed me to feel full after a meal which I like while feeling light most of the day which I also like.
    • Home cooked meals 99% of the time. Literally. Maybe eat out once a month most months.
    • Enjoying feeling healthy, so liking eating the things I ate and working out etc.

    Things I didnt need but do recommend:

    • Improved fiber intake.
    • Cutting all caloric drinks.
    • Know how much fat youre adding to your food, that tsp you just added are actually 2 tbsps.
    • Choose better carbs. Thats mostly about fiber content again. So whole wheat instead of white.
    • Dont mean to sound like that guy but good for gut foods. Yogurt, pickles and other fermented products.
    • The mental side. Know that a bad meal, day, week doesnt ruin anything. You don't need to be perfect, just improve in the long term.

    I could go on forever but I'll stop here.

    An old comment I made on a post about weigh loss, might help too.
