Default total calories

Total calories is important, but you also have to be aware of what those
calories are made up of. Yeah you could lose weight eating 1200 calories
from ice cream, but you would be having a whole bunch of other health
problems.

If your total calories are from healthy food sources you are good to go.
Another suggestion that dieticians have told me is to break the calories up
into 4 or 5 meals throughout the day. You will be able to burn more bodyfat
this way and keep the metabolism high.

Hi, does it really matter total calories per meal as long as I stay
lower than my total intake.
I.E. To loose approx 2 lbs per week I should be eating a maximum of
1800 calories per day.
I will have a light breakfast or a banana in the morning, lets say
approx 400 cal. For lunch I will grab a yogurt with some fruit, lets
say 200 calories. That means I could eat 1200 calories at night and
still loose weight right? I don't usually eat much in the morning, and
could deprive myself for lunch if I can enjoy my favorite meals at
night and pig out. This can't be right???
Please clarify me about total calories and how much per meal.

TIA
