realistically most people won't eat just 2000 calories of refined sugar as their only meal though.
That was a hyperbolic example, obviously. Using calories to count nutritional value is an antiquated system which needs to be pushed to the wayside. Furthermore, using # of calories burned is also a silly system since it is almost impossible to calculate the number of calories burned from lifting weights as well as those burned during the recovery process. Can calories in vs calories out be a decent method to use for general tracking? Sure, but is it the most important factor? Absolutely not.
Its like those people who get so excited when their fitbit vibrates because they walked 10000 steps. Who gives a frick? 10000 steps, especially if it something you do routinely, will burn less and less calories as your muscles get more efficient at performing the exact same task.

Thanks for the anecdotal evidence. from the article you linked:
And he went from 33.4 to 29% body fat. So, for fatties looking to lose weight, doing ALMOST ANYTHING will help. For those who are already at a "healthier" level, as we were originally discussing, the twinkie diet would not be ideal.
Furthermore, the numbers don't really seem to add up. They claim he went from 33.4 to 29% body fat and his BMI went from "28.8, considered overweight, to 24.9, which is normal. He now weighs 174 pounds." bullshite. 29% body fat is not considered normal, and no one at 29% body fat has a BMI of 24.9.
ETA:
Age Essential Athletes Healthy Overweight Clinically Obese
18-40 2-4% 5%-12% 13%-19% 20%-25% Over 25%
41-60 3-5% 6%-14% 15%-21% 22%-27% Over 27%
61-80 4-6% 7%-15% 16%-22% 23%-29% Over 29%

It's funny that you said in a previous post that calories are an antiquated measure yet you're posting about BMI like that number has any meaning whatsoever

No need to make things complicated. If you want to lose weight, stay in a caloric deficit (burn more calories than you consume). That is the only thing that will truly cause you to lose weight.
This. Losing weight is really freaking simple.
People just have to come to terms that that process comes easier to some than others. That doesn't mean that simple process doesn't work for them. It's works for everyone.

I think BMI numbers are terrible; however, they showed that the article you posted was bullshite. You are either a terrible troll or an ignorant person. Either way, I feel sorry for you.

Yes, it definitely looks like it.
You work out in the afternoon/early evening, correct?
Eat a passel and a half of quality carbs after, hermano.

Carb back loading sounds like a terrible idea.
Posted on 6/25/15 at 10:29 am to guedeaux
Enjoy your chicken and rice. I'm gonna have a hamburger then some ice cream and still stay shredded

carb backloading is not the complicated. Leangains uses this principle. You essentially eat all your carbs right after you workout. allows you to be a little loose with the diet.
No doubt carb backloading works but, its kind of an advanced technique though. most people here just need to do if it fits your macros iifym.com
iifym will get 99% of the people on here to where they need to be. I combine it with intermittent fasting more specifically alternate day fasting and it works really well for me. Rocket does something similar.
Dunno why almost every poster on the OT tries to make this shite so complicated. its pretty simple
1) follow iifym
2) combine with some form of IF so you don't have to eat bird meals
3)lift heavy shite and put it down 3 or 4 times a week including squats and deads
4) when in the fasted state move around a lot
not that complicated.
