    Ok. You can eat what you like, just eat less of it. There is no food you need to avoid. You can eat whenever you like. It has no bearing on weight loss. You can eat right before bed, it won't make you fat, as long a you are staying within your calorie limit.

    You should eat foods you enjoy. And stay away from anything you don't like. You couldn't pay me to eat an olive.

    you should eat food and avoid eating anything that isn't food :)

    all you need to do is accurately track everything you eat and stay below your calorie limit

    you can eat what ever you want as long as you stay under your limit but you'll quickly find that eating a bowl of ice cream that takes up half your calorie allowance won't feel you anywhere near as satisfied as a proper meal

    Try using a smaller plate if you can until you get the hang of portion control. Food scale is also good. It just takes a little time but it is worth it.

    all U need is to meet your calorie goal for the day and divide that in any quantity of meals that you desire and if that includes eating something just before you go to bed then go for it #MakeItWork

    no, you just need a calorie deficit

    Calories don't know time. You can eat right up until bedtime if you want and still won't gain (if you are eating in a deficit). I have a snack within 30 mins of going to bed and it hasn't hindered me because I'm staying at my calorie goal.

    Eat what foods you enjoy, just eat less of them. Lean proteins (chicken, turkey, fish), veggies, and carbs are a good place to start.

    Buy a scale and weigh out what you eat. Eyeballing, especially early in your weight loss, can leave you eating more than you think.
