I had a client  ask me the other day what diet I recommend.
As a people we have a tendency to gravitate to the foods we enjoy. So lets eat smarter to get the results we need.
There are plenty of calculators out there to help you figure out your macro nutrients.
I like to start simple.
Track everything you eat for two weeks. weigh your self at the beginning and the end of the two week period.
Count your calories per day. Did you gain? Lose? or maintain?
If you maintain, or gained, and want to lose weight. eat 200 calories less per day.
One less dessert Few less beers. It wont take much. If you cut 200 calories a day out of your diet and didn't lose weight over the two weeks, time to increase your activity.
A wise person once told me : if you do one thing everyday to increase your fitness level, you will end up with the body you want.
remember You need 1200 calories a day for proper brain function. So no extreme fasting.
If you want to try intermittent fasting, get all of your eating in between 12:00 and 8:00.
That should be a good starting point for most people.
Also your diet should be comprised of
45-65% carbohydrates. I'm talking about Broccoli, Whole grains, brown rice etc. Sweet potato's and fibrous fruit. Apples, bananas, and berries.
Protein 10-35%. Here in the states we believe more is better. The true recommendation for protein is 1 gram per kg of body weight. Not per pound. 
Also meals with 70 grams of protein is a waste. The body can only absorb 24 grams at a sitting.
Lastly:20-35% of your diet should come from fats. 
Again, healthy fats. Avocado, olive oil, nuts , and fish.
