That's a case of your hunger causing you to eat more calories, not a case of your hunger causing you to gain more weight from the same calories. The math still works just fine if you count the calories that your plan says you shouldn't have eaten. It's the plan that isn't working for you, not the math.

One would hope, but there are plenty of people who double-down on the obviously-wrong interpretations of ambiguities such as in your comment. People are surprisingly willing to misattribute the causes of of their diet's success or failure.

Well, apparently I'm not "people" in that sense.
