Valid point, but I think there's more here. Kenji is saying that he is satiated. It doesn't really matter what he eats compared to others if his brain/body is happy eating the correct amount.

The real question is: Why are people like Kenji satiated at an appropriate level of calories while others are not?

And I think the answer is going to be a complex mix of physical, psychological, and societal factors.

I don't think there's more to it.

Eating three meals a day at about 2,500 calories for a few weeks, and my body will adapt to feeling full at those portions.

Upping that to 3,000+ calories a day when on a bulk, and the first week or two are difficult, but then I adapt and feel hungry if I eat the smaller portions I used to eat.

Applying a sample size of one to the general population is anecdotal and works for you based on your physical, psychological, and societal factors.
