    This is absolutely terrible advice. It takes an insane amount of physical activity to burn the calories of a meal, and being in a deficit will make you feel hungry regardless.

    The majority of people need to worry about putting down their fork, not doing more physical activities

      Like 10% of our calories that we burn come from exercise - the rest is just keeping the lights on, so if you want to be in a deficit, you need to eat less.

      That’s… exactly what I said? You need to burn more calories than you consume. But that means putting in the work to do so.
