    You mean intermittent fasting? Eating too much at one meal, not meal schedule - not per se, only if your meal schedule happens to be one meal per day - will cause bloating. Are you eating too much? Are you gaining weight?

    IF isn't necessary for weight loss, it just one way to create a calorie deficit. If it's not working, just try something else.

    If you get bloated from eating then an elimination diet might be a better idea: leave out one food and see if you still get bloated, write down how long it takes. Leave out the next food, etc. If you just feel that you eat too much and your stomach feels uncomfortable then IF will do nothing as you'll probably eat the same amount of food, only in a smaller window.

    All IF does is make it easier to maintain a calorie deficit (for some people). It works for me cause that is how I prefer to eat but did not work for my wife. She snacked more and binged more during her eating window. She loses more weight tracking calories and eating three meals a day. It sounds like you need to hold yourself accountable by tracking EVERYTHING you consume. Try IF but if you stuff your face during your eating window then it will not do you any good. You should still track your calories during your eating window to make sure that you don't go overboard. Good Luck!
