I like food in general and to sit down and eat big high caloric meals

till I feel full, and that makes it harder to diet.
I often feel that I eat to much. But therefore I been staying in shape all my life.
TA seems to be in full control over his food planing. I on the other hand have to come up with different way of managing my appetite.
Do any of you believe in intermittent fasting? Or tried to eat only every other day, that way you get to eat really big meals, albeit more seldom.
Worth it?
I'd like to try TAs model of keeping track of calories and spreading them out as I see fit for that day. I'm amazing at this ability to have this strategic execution of such plans.
How do one go about acquiring this mindset? Nobody is born with this mindset.
