Well if it’s based on weight, and one of the steps is to reduce the weight significantly…

Point being someone eating a couple bags of jerky over a workday would probably count as having eaten literal pounds of beef, despite consumed weight being much lower. Water is noncompressible and makes your stomach full very quickly.

For the purposes of this conversation, about the nutritional effect of your diet, that seems like a fair way to put it.
