I wouldn't suggest eating 4k calories.
If you are on a 1500 cal diet you just want to trick the brain into thinking you aren't starving. So you would want to eat maybe 2500 which would be normal for an adult male.
I am also not 100% sold that cheating works for everyone at any point in a diet.
My body is so used to 1200 calories now, that when I cheat I can gain anywhere from 1 to 3 pounds as my body stores every ounce of extra food and the and the sodium from the meal causes massive water retention.

From what I understood, your body needs about 10 calories per lb of weight just to function on a normal basis. Let's say I'm 260 so 2600 calories needed per day. Wouldn't I always be burning more calories than is necessary if I'm on a 1500 calorie/day diet? At least until I reached 150lbs?
