Sure? Though if you’re trying to build muscle while losing fat you need to thoughtfully structure your lifting program with progressive overload, because you’re not really gonna build much muscle with just random exercises

its probably higher than 80% but yes. a calorie is just a unit of energy and fat is the stores of excess energy, to use while in periods of famine. a calorie deficit is just forcing your body to use stored energy (body fat) since you arent giving it as many calories as it burns. exercise will increase the amount of calories burnt which can help but diet is the easiest and simplest way to create a deficit

And “Caloric deficit” meaning: You CAN live/ survive/ thrive off of EVERY ONE hefty bowl order (from Chipotle) for the next 120/ one hundred twenty hours.

And many moments You ARE NOT HUNGRY. Your body just wants to rest from every order of food you just ate. Do try think of it like eating a large steak, and your jaw wanting/ needing rest from all that chewing. Your bowels and rectum require the same kind of relief/ recovery. You ARE NOT ADJECTIVE HUNGRY. You need, want a place for relief. Do choose instinctually.

A person’s daily life is revolved about looking sexy in a pair of Calvin Klein underpants, it is not working out and working out again in five minutes. #imo

Just changing how much you exercise will still make a difference but not nearly as much as a calorie deficit. If you are switching to exercising regularly you will lose some pounds initially but it will slow down once you reach equilibrium with your calorie intake.

Will it make me look more toned even if I theoretically do not lose weight?

Yea you will definitely look toned if you add muscle and substract fat. People worry about becoming bulky but that won’t happen unless you eat big

Depends on your goals. If you want to build muscle you need to work out. But if you want to lose fat then you need to be in calorie deficit.
