What would be the benefits of counting calories over a feedback loop via rate of weight loss?
Please explain hyper calorie interval. ![Smiley :)](http://www.getbig.com/boards/Smileys/classic/smiley.gif)
With your approach of not counting calories, you have no basis to make adjustments should they be needed other than logical guessing and waiting. Weight loss is not via scale reading is not a good indicator of fat loss as you can easily gain muscle or mantain a weight whilst cutting bodyfat. Knowing just how much you are eating can also help with your planning if you want to look a certain way at a certain time, say for a competition or beach trip or what have you.
Hyper-Calorie would be similar to your all out days, but spaced in different intervals depending on your current progress or lack thereof should there be a lack. It can be every 10th day, 7th, 3rd for instance on a rotating basis. The idea is to keep hormones in balance,natural testosterone as high as possible, and using leptin to induce adipose apoptosis.
