I've found intermittent fasting helps with this as less meals = less calorie counting.
Also having a set meal like a salad or smoothie lets me instantly add those calories without thinking.

This latest cut I've dropped 7kg in around 7 weeks and I didn't use an app, just calorie counting in my head based on previous experience, but in the beginning apps made all the difference.

Apologies if mentioned before, another point to always take note of is what exactly is your daily maintenance calories.

Always make sure to underestimate your maintenance calories too. You burn a lot less than what you really think you do.

Did you find you ate the same amount in less time eg 3 meals and a snack or was it 2 meals?

2-3 meals depending on how busy life and work are.
Super busy = smash a smoothie and wait til dinner for a fat guy dinner of huge steak, potatoes, cheese etc.
Quiet = Smoothie, snack, moderate dinner

2 for me seems to work

Yeah I've sort of been doing that, well I have a protein ball after the gym in the morning and then just have lunch and dinner. I don't feel any more hungry I reckon and I can't be ****ed eating as much as I used to. I estimate i've probably halved my food intake overall.

How you getting on now?

When I moved back to Australia 7 or 8 months ago I started gorging on packets of Mint Slice and Tim Tams and stacked on 7 or 8kg in no time. Went up to 96kg (183cm), so I overhauled my diet and joined a gym, started hitting cardio and weights 4 times a week and now I've lost all that weight in 4 months now and I'm back down to 87kg. I'm early 40's so it was no where as easy as it was when I was younger.

Lesson to those reading, don't let yourself get out of shape as you get older, it's a lot harder to shed weight.
