I tried many different diet types, keto hypetrain etc, eventually had me and my gf write down the calories of EVERYTHING I consume, used an onlinr calculator to determine my resting calorie consumption was 2500, and that if I ate 1000 calories less than this every day I would lose approximately 1kg a week. I've kept daily logs and weighed myself daily for a few months. The trend becomes quite clear ob larger time scales, results match predictions almost exactly. (short term fluctuations are misleading - daily fluctuations in weight is larger than the weekly change you wanna measure - but plot it, and you will be enlightened as I was - surprised to realise calories really matter no matter what diet you follow - but it is healthier or more sustainable to consume healthy calories - nontheless for weight loss - nr of calories cannot be overcame through any other aspect of dieting)
