usually eat at noon or after, then dinner. I don't snack, never eat sugar. I think it's because of the portions I eat :| alcohol might be for something as well.
It could be due to hormone imbalance, have you checked your thyroid and testosterone levels?
At the end of the day it will always be calories in vs. calories out. My personal experience is that I try to only eat 1 meal per day. Intermittent fasting is nothing new, and when I combine it with a low carb diet, it is extremely effective for me. I went from ~300 down to 225 in a matter of 4-5 months. As long as I am busy, I hardly notice any hunger during the day now that I am used to the schedule and the 1 meal…
> At the end of the day it will always be calories in vs. calories out. This is based on the assumption that all calories are digested and metabolized. Calorie is simply a unit of energy. There are calories in paper, charcoal and wood, so taking that to the extreme would mean that one would gain the same amount of weight consuming a bunch of shredded paper as consuming, let's say, a donut, yet digestion does not work…

At that point I would imagine it's the same concept as net carbs. Obviously not all food/matter is digestible. I do think it's still safe to say calories in/calories out however since most of us aren't entering shredded paper, charcoal and wood into MFP logs.

Output is governed by hormones, and the only reliable hack for now seems to be significantly lowering insulin by switching to ketogenic diet (or a variation thereof, /r/zerocarb, /r/keto, Atkins, Dukan). I'd recommend this book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Calories,_Bad_Calories with understanding that a lot of nutrition and diet science is in very premature stage because of World War 2 and lack of funding thereafter.

Not eating makes you lose weight. Doesn't matter when you eat, eating less, and eating better food (fresh, non-processed. If it doesn't run, grow on a tree/plant, or swim, don't eat it) will make you lose weight.

1 bottle of beer is usually between 100 and 300 carrots, depending on what type of beer and how much alcohol is in it. Alcohol is a significant source of calories. Have you tried not drinking for a few months? The rule of thumb I've heard is that 1 pound of weight can be lost with a 3500 calorie deficit. If you drink between 10 and 30 beets a week, cutting beer could cause you to start losing weight.
carrots? beets? Thanks for the laughs, autocorrect.
