How do one manage to eat exactly the amount of calories one consumes ? Based on the calories in/out weight gain theory a little error of 50 calories/day would lead to 50*365=18250 extra calories/year ie 18250/9000=~2kg of fat. 20kg in 10 years ! Eat an apple a day and you’ll be massively obese in few years.

It just has to average out in the long term.

No one eats the exact same thing everyday.

And you can eat less or more throughout the year.

You've never had a holiday feast?

That’s my point. Regarding people that maintain the same weight, I highly doubt they eat on average the _exact_ amount needed. There must be physiological adjustments that are broken in some people.

That's not necessary at all.

People who maintain the same weight simply eat their maintenance calories on average over the long term.

That's just how averages work.

I feel like you have some kinda fundamental misunderstanding of something to not understand this, but I don't know what it could be.

Just use a sensible buffer or add in some extra cardio.
