    "Eating 900 calories works for me"
    "Skipping breakfast works for me"
    "Eating two big meals a day works for me"

    Jeez louise!

    Sooooo you're saying there's something wrong with skipping breakfast or eating just two big meals?



    It's acceptable to me for someone to say "Not eating after 7 pm works for me because if I eat later I'll be tempted to eat more calories."

    It's not acceptable to say "If I eat anything after 7 pm, even if I'm under my calorie goal, it will immediately be stored as fat. That's how my body works. Don't tell me about science, this is what works for me"

    Ok so bad examples. Should have just stuck with the 900 cals one ;)


    Yay!

    Okay, now with this correction, I am back to completely agreeing with OP.

    I think there are more than enough people who genuinely like the advice and try different methods and combinations that others use. I also think that many of the same folks understand the basics of calories in/out, but might struggle with general terminology or some application. A lot of topics argue over smaller nuances compared to the basics, so there is a lot of confusion around.

    Support and motivation abound though and that alone will help keep people at least trying to live a healthier life.
