With everything else equal: If you go a month with daily calories

Maybe but probably not

>>41809130
Technically yes.

No, because your body is not 100% efficient converting excess consumed calories to fat. You will probably be slightly lighter.

So it's easier to lose fat than it is to gain it?

>>41809510
in pure mathematical terms, yes

>>41809510
For most people eating 500 calories over is easier than 500 calories under.

>>41809510
No, but if you eat an extra 500 calories, your body needs to expel some calories to convert it into bodyfat. So no you have a fat reserve with about 480 calories. Then when you eat 500 calories below maintenance you need to burn more of the fat than you stored on the surplus day. Also, the transformation from bodyfat into energy is not 100% efficient either, so you may burn 520 calories worth of fat.

The numbers are all pulled out of my ass, but the general principle is that calories are lost at both sides of the conversion due to inefficiency.

>>41809510
Yes. Because its easier to not eat than to eat.
