Spend 4 weeks eating 1500 calories of snickers bars and nothing else and then 4 weeks eating 1500 calories of chicken breast and nothing else. All other variables held constant if calories are calories the body weight should be the same. It wont be.

nobody is advocating a 100% snickers diet or using a 100% snickers diet to argue in favour of carbs. Yes, 1500 calories of just carbs and fat from a snickers would result in muscle loss from getting less than 30g of protein a day from the 6 x 50g snickers bars to hit 1500 calories.
BUT, 1kg of chicken = 1500 calories, = 17g of fat, which isn't sufficient anyway. So both your examples are terrible.
The real reason not to use such a stupid example is that nobody is going to be satiated from 6 snickers bars a day .
The
REAL question is.
If I am eating less calories than my TDEE, am I going to lose more body fat by going keto or low carb - the answer is no
The second question is:
If I am eating less calories than my TDEE are 200 calories from a 200 calorie 50g sugar soda different for weight loss purposes than 200 calories 50g carbs from 300g of potatoes? - the answer is no (excluding satiety, fibre etc)
So to not use any retarded examples
2000 of calories from rice, chicken breast, steak, cooking oil at a 40/30/30 split IS no different when it comes to fat loss from 2000 calories of only protein/fats
If low carb gives you greater adherence then by all means go low carb. But stop using retarded examples to justify your pseudo science
