I thought so until i started calorie tracking instead. I found my hunger swings were too strong when fasting and it was too easy to go off the rails. now i try to focus on high protein and filling meals that keep the hunger low while still at a 1000 daily calorie deficit under my maintenance.

I’ve used the Zero app in the past for tracking, even the free version is pretty good. Let me know if you need another tester. I would be happy to provide feedback in return.
