1200 calories a day. and 100 pushup, situps, and squats every single day (unironically, but this doesn't burn calories its just to get fit)
some days just eat a single meal, others 2-3 smaller ones. but always kept it around 1200 calories consumed (give or take maybe 100 just due to minor variations like sauce or not weighing things)

lean cuisines and similar meals are expensive but they're great for portion control. I usually get the healthy choice ones and the crustless chicken potpie is actually really good.
just cut out all snacks and liquid calories and you should be good.

other thing imo, don't count calories burned as a thing. yeah its a "thing" but fitness trackers are full of shit, and 90% of the time you're going to be a few hundred calories off from what you actually burned.

if you're getting hungry, try to fill up on things like protein or high fiber foods (vegetables, and berries are good for this, and berries can be treated like a dessert too since they're super low calorie), both fill you up while being relatively calorie dense. carbs are what makes you hungry because your body burns them fast.

overall, just don't fall for meme diets and just eat less. meme diets is how you get burned out, if you just watch your calories you can do stupid shit like replace lunch with a slice of cake if you really really want a slice of cake, since its the same calories over all.

do your best anon.
