I second this.
As for my personal implementation it’s usually a morning workout then breakfast for my girlfriend and myself. Usually scrambled eggs and egg whites with scallions, peppers, spinach, toast, and coffee.
Lunch, if any, is usually a black tea and a tin of tuna. The odd day I’ll buy a salad with chicken or hard boiled eggs.
Another workout or run and then supper is usually a combination of a protein, a carb (often pearl barley, brown rice, or sweet potato) and greens of any variety.
One hint: you can nearly eat as many greens as you want. Limit your carbs to what’s necessary. Make sure you get enough protein as that’ll supply the best energy, and fats in the morning help you feel pretty satiated all day long.
Also: beer is a gift from whatever god or mathematical formulae or whatever brought all matter into being—but those calories add up fast so watch out for them. Pop/soda, including something innocuous like Ginger Ale, is just as bad.
YMMV
Edit: should note that I also track my rough calorie burn using an Apple Watch 4 and my food intake with a simple kitchen scale, eyeballing portions, and a calorie tracking app called Lose It that pulls my calorie expenditure from my watch to give me a calorie budget for the day with deficits from exercise calculated in.
