Hah, maybe what I should have said is “without feeling any hungrier than usual”. Obvs people have different experiences but I find I feel hungry whether I eat 1500 or 3500 calories in a day. I find it way easier to stick to the old calorie budget if I snack on something substantial and low calorie (carrot or apple for instance) than if I snack on something more calorie dense.
Definitely valuable, as you say, to skip a meal or two in order to assess what hunger feels like over simple bored snackishness, but for me the two feel pretty much the damn same.
