For weight loss, can we consider that if I need to eat 1500 calories a day, any calorie will do the same?
If I cut my caloric intake from 2900 to 2800 calories, can I maintain my weight at 2800 calories if I feel comfortable with that amount of food consumption? Will I be in a deficit then, or will my metabolism adjust to 2800 and that become my new maintenance level, meaning I will no longer be in a deficit?
If someone is 200 lbs and wants to get to 150 lbs, with a maintenance calorie intake of 3000, how much weight will they lose if they cut their intake to 2500 calories? Will they be able to lose all 50 lbs with that cut, or will they need to lower their intake further as their weight decreases?
