Weight loss requires cal deficit
Body recomp requires cal deficit plus high protein plus muscular stimulus... Carbs and fat are personal choice ...
A calorie might be a calorie to a point, but surely it's quality (balance) that counts more. I can't image a whole lot of muscle growth occurring if you were to just eat carbs all day every day.
.
But conveniently ignores the fact that your body. is very efficient and adapts itself to a lower calorie intake by conserving energy and slowing metabolism to the point where you would have to starve yourself to lose weight. Also ignores that your body when calorie restricted will go into fat saving mode, and if severely restricted will sacrifice as much muscle as fat.
So when restricting calories every kilo lost means half a kilo of muscle gone
Nope...
Cals in vs Cals out is pretty much it...can't argue with physics...

Just a simple yes or no -
If someone was dieting for a bodybuilding show and eating 2500 cals a day - would they have the same results eating 2300 cals of steak and 200 cals of veggies or 2500 calories of toast a day....
Would the results be the same - simple yes or no...
Cant argue with physics, right?

Yup can't argue with physics...
Your arguement is invalid...
Cals equals weight gain loss
Macros equals body comp...
Therefore steak and veg wins!
Don't major in the minors....
Cal intake makes up 99% of the result...
If your an elite bber then you might need that 1%...
Exactly what I mean.
Sure you can loose weight by eating only bread (as an example) as long as its less calories that you expend, but you can't gain lean muscle mass by only deriving all your calories from bread/carbs. And if that's true, a calorie is not a calorie if you need calories from specific food groups to achieve a given goal.
You missed the point of the point entirely
You can't have weight loss without a calorie deficit. It is impossible.
Cliffs please?
If the bulk of your caloric intake comes from shitoods you will have a shitty physique
If the bulk of your caloric intake comes from shitty foods you will have a shitty physique
Exactly where cheat meals and and food selection and timing come into it, to try and slow/stop the inevitable slowing of the metabolism.
Been there done that. Eat 2500 cals a day and all is fine till your losses grind to a stop, drop to 2200 and off you go gain, then stops, drop to 2000, and lose a bit more, by the time I had dropped 8 or 10kg I was starving 24/7, and down to eating 1800cals a day. Feeling weak and tired all the time.
