What's so stupid about this ideology is that this person could still be in a decent deficit for the day if they just ate really light to make up for all the cookies earlier since 1000 calories is far below 99% of people's TDEE (and definitely below 100% of obeasts' TDEEs). Sure it would be difficult and they'd likely go to bed hungry, but maybe they'd remember that next time they reached for those cookies. Simply practicing self-accountability and moderation on a daily basis is all it takes, but apparently those values are far too complex for these butterogres to ever comprehend.
