Sure but the total impact and result(s) of eating those foods will be different because despite all the kicking and screaming on here all calories are not created equal nor are the quality of those calories created equal. For example someone eating 2,000 calories a day of pop tarts, tv dinners, and oven pizza isn’t going to have the same outcomes of someone eating 2,000 calories of eggs, grass fed beef, and steak.

Yes because of satiety factors

But someone can easily overeat on eggs and steak.

Personal anecdote...I'm trying to keep my calories in the 1700 range to stay in a consistent deficit. I would have no problem eating 2500 calories of eggs and steak. It wouldn't make me feel uncomfortable or stuffed. It would be easier to do that than to remain in a deficit.

Yes the satiety from those items is superior than refined carbs and other garbage like pop tarts. But it's still very easy to consistently hit a caloric surplus eating "healthy foods" and if you disagree you're simply not being a realistic person.
