    I choose to eat less meals but bigger meals (ie more calories) because I feel they satisfy me more than small meals. I'd rather eat 3x600 cal meals with lots of volume than 6x300 cal meals...

    a good rule of thumb that I've learned is that you don't need to have a full serving of something. I do 1/2 servings of a lot of my favorite foods.

    soups and stews are filling and can include vegetables and meat. I just had a big bowl of taco chili and it is so satisfying and filling and healthy with lots of beans and corn.

    Any meal will make you lose weight as long as it fits into your calorie goal. That said: amp up the amount of veg on your plate, reduce the amount of carbs (as these tend to pack a lot of calories, not because carbs are bad) and choose lean proteins (you can eat a ton of fish for example for the same amount of calories as 100gr ground beef).
