Does calories in vs calories calories out always result in weight loss?

so I eat roughly 1600-1800 calories a day but lose about 2200-3500 calories a day via exercise however it's not resulting in weight loss. I know people will say you're probably putting on muscle but I haven't put on muscle and I've practically been like this for about two years no change.

i do eat reasonably healthy so I can't see what could effect me losing weight. I'm currently 65kg but I want to drop at least 3-5 kg just to feel a bit more fit and healthy as id be ideal there but it's not happening.

Mostly yes. But calories in vs calories out is an oversimplification. There millions of individual organisms in your body, each having their own metabolism. Only if they are working correctly is there any point in even counting calories

That being said, if you're losing 3500 calories through exercise you're probably an olympian. So since you've probably got that wrong there's a good chance you also got the 1600 figure wrong

I should've stayed that the 3500 is via exercise and resting calories burned. Sorry my fault.

As for 1600 calories a day. That's measured very accurately.

How in hell could you be losing 2000+ through exercise? What do you do? That, if it's true, SHOULD be resulting in muscle gain.

I spend roughly 4 hours a day at the gym every day but I was including resting calories I burned. Should've been more clear

Well there you have your answer. You should be gaining muscle mass, there's no other explanation.

ur not calculating ur calories properly. another trick I used to do was to fast from 6 in the evening to 12. U will drop weight dat u need. it's a variation of intermittent fasting. or u can do cardiovascular excercise in a fasted state in the morning. then eat afterwards. be careful tho bcos u will be at a low energy level so wen ur tired stop. also drink more water sometimes it's not hunger ur feeling but thirst.

Losing 2200-3500 calories a day through exercise? I don't think so.

[Asker]

Sorry that was exercise and resting calories burned. Should've been more clear. My bad

Calories in vs out dosent always work, example: eating 2000 cal of junk food vs 2000 cal of healthy whole foods. Obv the junk food is going to gain, and the healthy one might loose
