How

I figured out how many calories I should eat to lose weight and then use the food diary to keep track of what I am eating. It's really as simple as that. Read the stickies about getting started especially https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants and you will be set to go.

No one way of eating, time of eating, what you eat or don't eat, how often you eat or anything else correlates with consistent weight loss. It all is a matter of calories in/calories out. Consume fewer calories than you burn and you will lose weight.
