You are drawing out many thoughts I had not explicitly stated in the post, so thank you. The contest is offered as such because I believe I’ve already stumbled into an answer and it is buried within the data. A couple weeks here and there when I ate certain macros or walked enough steps and prematurely quit, not realizing careful retrospective analysis reveals statistically significant loss above RMR for those periods that persisted for months, before being reversed by whatever combination of factors “unlocks” raising my set point.
