2,000 - 500 (from lowered eating) = 1700 (300-350 deficet)
2,000 - 500 (from excercise) = 1500 (500 deficet)
2,000 -500 + 500 = 1800 (200-300 deficet)
Not real figures but, hopefully it helps illistrate the point.
Basically if you lower your calories only through eating, then you also end up with lower metabolism, meaning you are no longer actually 500 calories below maintence it slowly changes, It may start like that the 1st week but as the weeks go on your metabolism slows even more and more as it realizes you just arn't going to be eating more. For example if you maintenaince is 2,000 when you cut it actually lowers your maintence since you have a slower metabolism, hence your maintence is now 1800 and you eating 1500 so you cutting by 300 when you originally planned to cut by 500.
For cutting with excersise you should keep your metabolism relatively on par since your still eating 2,000. So the 500 calories you burn will stay 500 calories below maintainance (witch remains the same since you are still eating the same amount. As a bonus, you may also end up increasing you metabolism throughout the rest of the day. This usually however just ends up preventing the body from lowering metabolism along with the maintained calorie intake level. Since its only about 50% tricked into keeping metabolism maintence at 2,000 by eating 2,000, since it does know that overall its still only getting 1,500, but the increased metab from cardio usually makes up the other 50% and the body does maintain metabolism. meaning a true 500 calorie loss.
Excersising and then eating it back to maintence. You actually will be eating over maintence 2500 calories Which will increase your metabolism to mabe a 2100 maintence. Now the cardio should increase metabolism as well giving you a 2200 maintance. Now your excercise and increased eating increased you metabolism so that you are now a 2200 maintence person, thing is, the calorie burn of the cardio brought your daily intake to 2,000 your old maintence you have a nice 200 deficet. Now I say 200-300 because you can further manipulate the situation to your advantage by doing your cardio on an empty stomach your body is more prone to burn fat. The calories later in the day arn't always stored as fat (some are excreted). This morning cardio thing often nets you a better effect that ona full where the body won't excrete as much of the food because your using it as energy. Possibly an additional 100 through empty stomach manipulations.
Now empty stomach manipulation does work for the method outline in process #2 but not as effective or important as its utilization is in process #3 since in #2 you rely on an overall calorie deficit, and #3 you rely on the this little trick along with the increase of food.
