    If your settings are dialed in correctly and you don't have any metabolic disorder, then no, you will not gain weight by eating at your calorie target and not exercising.

    I dont know about that.... if you are sitting down and eating double big macs then it could be a number of factors. It could be that you have some water retention from eating too much sodium meaning drink TONS of water. You could do like a master cleanse where you only eat good stuff for a week no cheats to get rid of the bad food in your system... just a suggestion :) otherwise just get back on the healthy train and it should come right back off :)

    Being healthy and gaining/losing weight are two different things.

    If you eat nothing but big macs or do "cleanses", then yeah, it may be hard or impossible to stay healthy.

    But eating a balanced diet around your TDEE, and not exercising will keep you about the same weight. Though your body composition will likely start to shift to a higher body fat %.
