Once lunch time comes do not just run to the closest fast food restaurant near you. If you have to settle for something quick you could go to subway for example; however that doesn't mean you get one of their teriyaki chicken subs or go heavy on anything. A simple cold cut with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, maybe just a dab of mustard will be just fine. Of course you going to crave for certain things but instead of eating your normal portion just eat half now and half for later. This is so you do not consume so much of things that will hinder your diet.
Sometime after you get home from work, you can go eat a little snack and then start your workout. This time the workout should be longer than from what you did in the morning. Also instead of working out depending on that day you could just go for a walk. You burn calories as you walk so you do not have to worry about a full workout every day.
Now it's time for dinner. Remember to try to stay away from greasy and fried foods as well. For instance, instead of having fried chicken substitute that for baked chicken. Instead of using vegetable oil use extra virgin olive oil. Just enough to coat the skillet or pot that your using. This will help keep the calories down. Also as for seasoning make sure you only lightly season your dishes. Just enough to taste is fine but do not overdo it. For desserts just eat a smaller portion than you normally do as well as make sure it's not too much sugar etc.
The key is eating smaller portions of the things you like as well as eating healthy mixed in. For example, when you make a sandwich instead of white bread use wheat bread. It's healthier. Snacks between meals will help balance things out so that you are not starving yourself until the next meals comes. This is so you do not torture yourself. If you did not eat anything between meals then you would most likely start eating more during meals to the point your either eating the same portions before you started dieting or even more.
