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.
