Personally, I drink these 100 cal nutrition drinks for breakfast, or have a banana, and a sparkling water. I've settled on - Very lightweight breakfast (~100 cal) - Light lunch (~700 cal) - Heavy dinner (~1400 cal) - Hard liquor only (tall single vodka/soda is my goto) You'll notice that's over 2000~ a day. I also walk a lot, use an exercise bike instead of the couch when watching TV, and bicycle everywhere I can. On lazy days, I adjust downwards. One thing I've done that's helped a lot is eating a low carb diet - I did keto, found it was incredible effective in losing weight, but kinda brutal. Instead, a low carb (non-ketosis) diet allows for some carbs but significantly reduces "empty calories".
