Watching caloric intake is a great way to reduce weight. Just be prepared to do a lot of research along the path.
When you are setting up a diet ask your doctor what he advises for a good weekly or daily intake. Some doctors will legitimately avoid giving this information as too many dieters game this in order to justify "bad foods", so go with your doctor's advice if he refuses to give you that information.
The key number: 3150 calories per week. A change of that many calories will increase or decrease weight by one pound a week. The bigger the change, the bigger the weight change.
A good bookmark for the calories needed daily is (12+x) times current or ideal weight. "X" equals 1 if you lead a sedentary life, 3 if you if you lead a very active life, and 2 for everyone else. Do not game this number; you need to be as honest as possible.
Above all, don't panic just because you eat a big meal. You can game this by eating less if you know it is coming up, engaging in activities, or severely curtailing eating after the meal. Eating a large meal should not be a major panic.
