First you should apply. Don't wait! Second don't listen to a single piece of diet advise you've seen here. Ignore all the internet woo, and bro science. Go see a registered dietian( not a nutritionist), and listen to their advise on eating. A RD is a health professional that can set you up on the right meal plan for you. Weight lose is nearly 100% diet, as excerise can not overcome poor diet.

There is a balance between diet and exercise, and there's some trade space between the two. I've consumed up to 8,000 calories/day while participating in a fitness program courtesy of the military, not an ounce of body fat to be found back then. Of course that involved at least ten hours/day of strenuous exertion...
