He quite obviously does like eating breakfast since he wrote that his typical eating habits included eating at 0700 each morning in the OP. Clearly, if he enjoys eating breakfast he should continue to do so, but adjust what he eats accordingly. Are you actually going to offer anything of benefit to these diet threads rather than just trying to pick stupid thinly-veiled arguments?
I get it, you think IF is great. Fantastic. How about you actually try and offer some opinion on how he might wish to go about IF in a sensible manner rather than just "herp derp miss a meal, it's all good!"
I will try to help from my point of view. I have a similar "problem" , 178tall, 79.9 clothes on weight. That should be ok, but I do have small belly, that really annoys me past year or so.
First of - stop the bread. Completely. I know is hard, but you HAVE to do it.
The other exercises you have put on your list seems ok, cut the slack, run once(or if you have the time and will - twice)/day for 3 weeks in a row. You wont kill yourself, will be hard for the first 3-4 days or so, then you gonna enjoy it (at least I started).
Fish and fruits are great, but my advice is - Have a good breakfast, pretty much anything you like (no bread or sweet stuffs, candies, chocolate and so).
Make your second meal between 13 and 16th afternoon (fish is really great, tuna specially)
Skip the dinner - if you are REALLY hungry, get an apple (or 2, or 3, cucumbers, anything that feels like eating but is mostly water. Carrots are great choice, maybe because I love them).
I promise you visible results in 3 weeks. Its less than a month in your life, you wont regret it.
After that you can just push harder on situps/running time and afford yourself sweet and bread+drinking days.
EDIT before post - cut the soda. ANY SODA! Water is ok, juice also works, but water is better
I agree with everything you said.
However I tend to push myself hard when I aim for something. + Depending on the breakfast you can get pretty damn close to 1k if not over calories.
I am also not sure for the diet soda, BUT i don't drink soda anyway from 2 years now, so you might be right there
If you want to drop body fat you should try ketosis for a couple of months (unhealthy to do it permanently). It requires quite a dietary shift as you're limited to less than 40grams of carbohydrates a day, so most of your calories come from protein and fat. This will cause you to feel lethargic for a few days as your body adjusts to using fat as it's primary energy resource but you'll feel great from then on.
Intermittent fasting is also worth a look.
And just to point at that if you were lean 82kg would be a perfectly healthy weight to be at your height.

Lose weight? Your weight is entirely proper.
I'm 179cm's and 92 kilo's, that's too much. But 82 and 182 tall? That's just the weight you should have. Maybe the only thing that could be different is that more of that could be muscle rather than fat, in which case you'd just need to start exercising.
You seem to have good food habbits and you don't seem to eat much or any sugary things, which is good. For some people, simply getting rid of soda makes them lose weight. That's what I have done. Smaller portions of food and no sugary stuff, and I've lost 5 kilo's the last 6 months. Ofcourse, it could be more but I haven't exercised, I've just controlled my diet.
I'm not overweight I'd say it's more the little tummy fat I wanna get rid of and get in a little better shape. Thanks for the advice guys, didn't think I'd get this much input.
