    You’re technically correct.

    For somebody eating 1500 calories a day, a 10% deficit is 150 calories. It is incredibly hard for humans to accurately measure all of their meals so they hit exactly 150 calorie deficit. It is far more efficient to allow the biological systems, with proper hormone regulation, to use their own feedback loops to do the self-regulation. You can do it with math and scales if you really want to, but you’re making it harder

      I don’t know. I find counting calories very easy. All you need is a scale and some calorie counting app, like Fat Secret.
