This is accurate
But only really matters if you're eating zero fat. Or extremely low fat.
If you're having mixed meals, any calories above maintenance will be stored from the fat you eat
And it gets complicated when you realize the speed of digestion and utilization between Macros and food types is significantly different
@AntiDoc The thing that no one talks about:
The acts of training to build muscle, or maintain significant amounts of it, is highly metabolic
AND the habits that are required to enable it and sustain it are also very healthy
(unless your just slamming crazy levels of PEDS)
Are you unaware that refeeding carbohydrates can cause a decrease in water balance due to stress (and cortisol) reduction?
There's a lot going on there beyond cortisol. Including transient increase of leptin.
There's more than one mechanism in the body that influences water retention.
Yea, 1g glycogen tags along with about 4-5g water.
But if you don't know that cortisol can affect water retention too - your ignorance will get in the way of discourse.

Tell me Tucker - outside of healthy populations is it healthy to have sustained elevated cortisol?
And why is it that significant bloat and water retention loss occurs when carbohydrates are increased. Especially during prolonged dieting + stress
If that's true, trying to argue otherwise is pedantic.
