I do this, because apart for a few hours of active exercise a day, i live a mostly sedentary lifestyle. And my body knows this, which is why it cuts down consumption when i get back home. Now the big problem is I usually don't eat before and after workouts, and instead eat meals regularly (morning and evening). I have been told by my trainer that i am maintaining a calorie deficit of around 2500 calories which i find extremely hard to believe(currently i eat between 1300-1500 calories a day). Traditionally i eat a small morning breakfast(bread + coffee), and a medium dinner (rice + beef). The guy also parrots starvation mode and other HAES bullshit, but it seems like the numbers being quoted would actually get me fat, and not really help me build muscle or get fit. I also have a small genetic condition, where my body just doesn't feel hungry a lot of times. I could be doing vigorous exercise, but it takes hours before my body realizes it needs food. edit; No idea if this even belongs here
