I just have to ask, sorry.
QUESTION 1:
If you're trying to lose weight, and your calories are set to 2500 a day, with a 500 calorie deficit, which makes for a 3500 calorie deficit over the course of a week that equals to 1 lbs of weight loss (provided proper nutrition).
What if instead you were to eat 3000 calories everyday, then day 6 you ate 2500 calories and day 7 you ate nothing (Water). You would still be in a deficit but I doubt you'd be down 1 lbs (I could be wrong). But is there a scientific way of explaining why this would or wouldn't work?
QUESTION 2:
If you are doing cardio 5 days a week at 30 minutes per session, would you burn more or less if you divided the sessions into 2x 15 minutes? From the little I know, a round of cardio will create a ********* reaction. Is there any reason to believe one is better than the other or if they are the same?
NOTE: I understand these may seem stupid but I've always wondered and wouldn't mind people explaining them to me in the most basic of ways. AND feel free to add your own stupid questions you've always wanted to ask on nutrition or related topics.
