    I understand caloric restriction as “eating food while not going over a predefined amount of calories”. My experience was to eat around 1800 kcal per day in order to loose fat.

    It was a pretty good experience since I did a lot of planning and have a somewhat good knowledge of my body.

    I laid meals around the day and strategically placed them around times I usually feel particularly hungry. For example at around 17:00 to 17:30 I had a slice of bread with honey and a banana. And a cup of milk with some fruits right before bedtime. Of course the quantity and type of bread milk, fruits, and honey all fit into the caloric intake schedule.

    There is also an important point is to diversify the source of calories. Protein are satiating so it makes sens to get a good chunk off of them. Ratios are up to debate and you can look them online. For example 30-30-40. or something like that.
