You must not be american. It is literally not an option here.

Im a 180lb male and my maintenance calories is 2687. I do 1hr lifting 5 days a week but am pretty idle besides that.

2000 is really low for men.

Single issue Gaza voters are braindead and/or or just hate the USA. They dont actually care about peoples’ lives, especially not americans.

“same amount of calories”

I think this is too big of an assumption. Ultra processed foods are generally less filling and easier to digest. Eating 1000 calories of cereal or potato chips is easy. Eating 5 chicken breasts at once borderline impossible for most people. Whole foods tend to make is harder to overeat. There are exceptions ofc, like nuts, but i think the general trend holds.
