Can I eat whatever I want aslong as im in a calorie deficit?

[fays12]

When im dieting, I sometimes want to eat junk food like burger, ice cream, and cookies everyday.

Can I do this and loose weight aslong as im still at a calorie deficit?

Im mostly talking about weight loss, and not my health.

What do you think? You framed the question specifically just to get validation.

Well I really dont know the answer, why do you think im only trying to get validation?

I always get comments like "you cant lose weight eating this food", and when I say but im counting my calories, they tell me im wrong.

Technically you could but practically it usually doesn't work out. If you're in a deficit eating whole foods will keep you satiated and able to adhere to your diet. Eating junk won't do that and you end up hungry not to mention missing out on vital micronutrients, fiber, etc.

A little something here and there should be fine though.

I'm taking an appetite suppressant (Mounjaro), so I dont think ill have the issue you mentioned?

The medication lasts in your system for a week, but on day 5, some hunger comes back!

Which is why I ate a burger and ice cream, but I made sure I was on a calorie deficit.

I wasnt sure if I should feel guilty or not, so I wanted to know that ill be fine if I eat bad, aslong as I eat on a calorie deficit.

You don't ever need to feel bad or guilty, but like I mentioned better to eat healthier foods for the majority of your diet.

Sport without fanaticism is a good sport. It is a healthy way of life, and it gives the necessary benefits to a person. If you do sports, you can noticeably improve your health if you follow certain rules. But what about vitamin supplements? I eat a lot of them, but I limit myself in food, minimum of calories...

Yes you can eat whatever you want, however if you consume too much sugar you can become diabetic or if you consume too much unhealthy fat you will rise up your cholasterol and feel slugish. Your best bet is to stay eating healthy foods most of the time and eat junk food occasionaly. I eat like 3-4 junk meals in a week during my bulking phase. I'd pick junk food like burgers over sugar tho, alteast burgers have a good amount of protein.

Eating whatever crap you want as long as you’re in a deficit is contradicting wanting to lose weight for health’s sake.

Junk food+appetite suppressant=moronic

This. Drink whiskey until you black out; you will not reach a surplus before it happens... doesn't mean it's healthy. That said... 750ml of Jack is 1570 calories...

If you shove the burger & ice cream up your butt, it's 0 calories. No guilt.

Hmmmmm

You're right and those people are wrong.

Those people sound totally clueless. It just seems like they go by whatever trendy diets their friends, coworkers or aunts talk about, but don't really understand nutrition from a scientific standpoint.

You don't have to convince them. You just keep doing the calories/macros and succeeding, and you can show them the results once you're in equal or better shape than them.

Theoretically, yes. If you are in a calorie deficit, meaning you are consuming fewer calories than you are burning, then you can theoretically eat whatever you want and still lose weight. However, this is not always recommended. If you're going to eat anything then have a period in a month where consume anything and then another for eating foods that are more nutrient-dense than others, meaning they have more vitamins, minerals, and fiber per calorie.

Well probably yeah, isn't the healthiest.

I thought to lose weight it was better to stay physically active throughout the stay and eat something every 3-4 hours, while staying at an overall deficit
