Every body is different. We dont know you age/sex/haight or activity level.
Such a misinformed topic from the beginning
I clarified that the maintenance calories was more than that, that should be enough information. Besides this topic isn't asking advice it is asking a specific question.
If you already know your maintenance calories are more why did you need to ask if eating less makes you lose weight
Because I didn't know if doing what I suggested (meaning one day ends up being WAAAAY over) still would end up having the same effect with weight loss. Both math and the body can be funny so I don't know if perhaps it's some more exponential or multiplicative effect.
9000 calories 1 day and then 4 days of 0 calories is different than 1800 calories for 5 days so I didn't know if they'd be the same when it comes specifically to weight loss.
It's actually not different though. You'll hold and lose water weight / sodium levels and carbs holding water at a weird pace but if you have a level week after this its still CICO at the end of the day. 9000 calories over 5 days is the same whether its 3 meals a day or 1 meal at the end of day 5
Thank you! This completely answers my question.
It's how most professional eaters are all in good shape. They work out a lot, but a 20000 calorie cheat day sure the next few days they are bloated and have massive water weight but they offset it. They'll then follow something like a 1200 calorie a day diet for the next 2 weeks straight as well as doing light cardio and in the end they don't gain body fat. ---
Same sex marriage is not gay privilege, its equal rights. Privilege would be something like gay people not paying taxes. Like churches don't
