I just had a realisation

Weight loss is "automatic".

Using the TDEE calculator, I learned that I have a basal metabolic rate. Taking into account my age, size and so on, my calories used to stay alive is the same regardless of when I'm up and about or in a coma. Additional calories burnt by being active are a "bonus", if you like.

So I will use X calories per day whether I do anything or not (2500 in my case). I don't "need" to exercise to lose weight, I don't even "need" to eat well (I do). The only thing I need to do, my part of the bargain, is not to OVERFEED.

If I limit myself to X minus 500 calories, I will automatically lose weight.
