One where your at stable weight and your regular diet is 4500 ?

I assume OP did not choose 4000 randomly, it is meant to be a _high_ number (about 2x what an average person needs). Implying that you could eat twice as much calories and stay lean _if the calories came from bacon_.

When your basal metabolism is 4500 calories a day.

Just because it goes in your mouth doesn’t mean you metabolism and store it.

> The difference is that if all you ate was 4,000 calories of bacon a day, you’d lose weight.

> Just because it goes in your mouth doesn’t mean you metabolism and store it.

I don't think that logic follows.
