    There are high carb raw vegans who eat thousands of calories a day. They lose weight and maintain their weight. So I think calories is a tricky thing and it may depend on what your eating. So losing weight isn't always about calories. I have friends who eat over a thousand calories per meal and they eat three or four times a day and they are ridiculously fit.

    Yeah, because they are burning a huge number of additional calories with exercise.
