the kinds of workouts you're doing don't have much at all to do with weight loss

I get where you’re going with that, but if you’re doing full body exercise routines 3 days per week, including squats and deadlifts, then your caloric needs will be considerably higher than someone who is just wandering around the gym, hitting an occasional machine. When I’m doing my strength routine I need roughly 3900 calories per day. That is fucking hard to do. So, it’s pretty easy to lose fat (and some muscle). It doesn’t require starving, it requires me to just stop force feeding myself 6 times per day
