We can not say that eating less will always help people lose weight. Because if a person burn less calories than he consume, he still gain weight even though he eat less. Say a person take in 3500 calories and burn 2500 calories a day, he has 1000 excess calories per day. If he eat less, say 3000 calories and burn 2500 calories, he will get 500 extra calories, so he will be fatter.
Some people may say, “what if I cut down a lot, say I just eat 1000 calories a day and burn 2500 calories daily?” In fact, eating too little does not help weight loss. Because, first, your body will think that food is scarce, and it will try to store as much fat as it can. Second, eating too little slow down your metabolism, this means your body burn less calories. So, eating too little food is not good for losing fat.
How many calories should you eat per day?
Usually, it is about 1500 to 2500 calories, there are also many people say it is 2000 calories. It depends, age, sex, height,weight. Every individual is different, some need less, some need more than that. Those numbers are just a guideline. You can check your BMR for an estimated number.

If it is possible, you can eat several small meals instead of 3 big meals a day. It is said that this can help burn fat faster. And DO NOT miss breakfast.
