It is not eating more or less, it about eating what you need when you need it.

I eat 4 meals similar in size and appearance to the one on the right that add up to ~1600 calories and I feel full and am in great shape. Because the burgers I make are full of nutrition. The meat doesn't have fillers and I know the rancher, the bun is baked from heirloom wheat source from farms I know are good, the water filled excuse for lettuce is switched with rich dark kale from open waters that are further from human impacts, the tomatoes are from my garden where I enrich the soil personally. I know what my body needs and I give it to it, and thus my body works right.

I assume back in 1955 foods was fresher and of higher quality. If you eat food that lacks the nutrition you need, then you will still be hungry and you can keep eating as many calories as you want. But eat a small amount of rich foods your body needs and you won't be hungry for hours. Most supplements only half work at best because they are chemically made and lack the complex interactions they are naturally found in traditional foods.

Think about it I lost weight and got in shape by eating home made cheese burgers and some light walking, because the cheese burgers I make are healthy. And for all the very expensive ingredients I use which cost more then double and hard to get compared to the common versions use to buy, my food bill only rose by 7% instead of 200% because of how much less I am eating.

On my off days I only eat about 900 calories as I sit around watching movies. On normal work days when I am running around in a physical manufacturing job I eat 1600 calories. And during my office day once a week when I am doing hard mental calculations I eat 3000 with surgery junk food as my mind burns it all, you can feel the raw heat from me as my brain burns the sugar.

I use to be over 300 lb, now I am 200lb and have more energy then I know what to do with because I learned what I needed and got it.
