An example from my own diet is butter in my oatmeal. It's an extra 60 calories or so that makes a subtle difference to the flavor. When I'm dieting, I don't feel like the improvement in flavor is worth the calories, so I omit. Now that I'm no longer dieting, I put it back in there.
Seems very reasonable.

I mean people would be losing and gaining weight like crazy if the metabolism didn't adjust.
Metabolic changes aren't that great. NEAT varies wildly for people ranging from negative to positive feedback loops while in a deficit. This is probably what you're thinking of.

EVOO is disgusting in this. Use butter for chicken. (Maybe lard.)
People are obsessed with EVOO even tho it doesn't make any difference. Like honey instead of white sugar. If this has any meaningful impact on your health as a normal, reasonably healthy adult, you're so far ****ed it doesn't matter.

I mean FFS, why even eat a ****ing fajita if what we really wanna do is make stir fry with taco seasoning? The idea isn't to make every meal as ****ing horrendous as possible.
