B
An important strategy for maintaining a healthy body weight is learning to respond to actual hunger cues, eating when hungry, and stopping when full. It is not necessary to restrict meals to set times. Counting calories may be successful, but is not a realistic long-term strategy. Limiting foods that are high in fat and added sugar may help decrease kcal intake, but it is not necessary to avoid them altogether.
