The way I have eaten for years already is intermittent fasting. Basically what you do, is to have a eating window of 8-10 hours out the 24 on a day. For me in practice this means that I don't eat breakfast at all and start eating around midday, sometimes even later in afternoon. The idea behind intermittent fasting is that after long enough period of not eating, the body will start metabolizing fat for energy after having used all the glycogen stored in muscles and liver. Personally I don't keep on eye on the calories – usually with a small eating window the worry is actually to get enough than too little calories, for me at least.

It can be done also so that you eat breakfast normally but don't eat after 5-7 PM, but I prefer to eat later the day than early to make sure I'm not hungry when I get to bed.

If you do try it, keep in mind that you will be hungry at first if you skip a meal at the time you have regularly eaten, but there's no worry because hunger is only a signal caused by hormones (Ghrelin, specifically) that gets released during your usual eating times. But once you have adopted new eating habits (or eating window) and stuck to it for a while, your body will adjust accordingly and start making you hungry during the new eating times. For example, I'm never hungry in the morning because I never eat at that time.

If you're wondering, it has no negative effects on exercise outside of slight discomfort at first if you workout and feel hungry – it actually might have a positive effect on muscle mass and recovery because fasting increases the production of human growth hormone.

This is a pretty good article that goes more in depth about it:

Works for me, can't guarantee it's "the way" for everybody of course, but it's at least worth experimenting with.
