3) The one that adds up to the least calories.

As I mentioned in another answer, the better option is the one you can stick to as pertains to your lifestyle, and results in a total caloric intake low enough to put you under your daily energy expenditure.

Unless you're at figure athlete level body composition, you probably don't need to overthink individual meal make up to this degree.

Yes the underlying theory is absolutely true (calories in vs calories out)

It's so frustrating to see people all the time trying to lose weight. The approach while well intended is backwards.

It's like running out of gas and Triple-A informing you that when you burn more gas than you've put in your tank your car doesn't run.

There's SO MUCH more to it than that. How fast you accelerate, break, oil levels, tire pressure, the area (rural vs city) and on and on.......

Instead of learning about your body and the whys behind what you’re doing. Many people will hire a nutritionist to "tell them what to do".

Weight loss is in a lot of ways counter-intuitive. At the extremes it's obvious (eating an entire pie is worse than eating a few apples).

The middle ground, which is less obvious such as the types of foods, combinations of macronutrients, frequency, sizing and timing (etc.) will come as you learn....

Your body is incredibility adaptive. Restricting and starving yourself is the perfect way to teach your body to hold on to all the fat it can as it never knows when the next meal is coming. Conservation and efficiency becomes your bodies plan.

The act itself of counting calories implicitly implies temporary. Are you going to meticulously count calories for the rest of your life?

It incredibly inaccurate -- so if you spend the day measuring each meal and tracking calories and following it to a T the reported calories for many foods have been consistently found to be misreported, based on calorimeter data that's 1/2 a century old.

Give yourself "outs" foods there's literally no limit on . Or allow yourself to eat all the chocolate you want, it just has to be covered in mustard or whatever..

UPDATE

In its simplest terms, yes, a “calorie deficit” is the only way to lose fat. It’s more insightful for me to tell you to become a millionaire you need to deposit ,000 - 100 times. Calories can’t be linearly measured like that.

Also, yes you can definitely put on “fat” eating too much of anything…. Vegetables and fruits included

I’m saying allow yourself more “wiggle room” as it’s MUCH harder to overconsume healthy food (that are typically higher in water content, less processed and require more energy to digest).

Even something calorie dense like almonds, not that you should make plans to “binge eat almonds” (it’s tough to even do so) but if you want them that bad, then you can them.

Or say you have lunch daily at noon, decide to start drinking 20oz of water at 11:30. You’ll eat less (and you can carry this practice over to other times you tend to over eat).

Bottom line is restrictive does not work, some days you may eat more calories than you consume, that’s ok. Adding the boringly painful task of calorie counting on top of restrictive eating (aka dieting) does not work long term.

Slowly learn about healthy eating and living and swap unhealthy foods with healthier alternatives.
