Your basal metabolism can flucutate based on physical activity, and probably nutrition too. Also, fasting had shown to me that we can have an empty stomach and yet not be hungry. Yet, the state of not being feed seems to be a foreign idea to most people. I lost weight by mostly intermittent fasting, without needing to count calories. Sometime, I even eat way too much food in one sitting. Over the long term, I did lose weight.
