calories in, calories out. Use more than you eat and weight goes down. Eat more than you use and weight goes up. It's an oversimplification, but it's not wrong.

It's very wrong, if only for the simple reason that not all calories are the same. Eating 1000 calories worth of protein will not have the effect as eating 1000 calories of HFCS.

Please stop parroting this piece of reductionist misinformation that is used to sell us ultra-processed foods.

What you said is an explanation of why what I said is an oversimplification. It's an efficiency variable, just makes the math slightly more complicated, doesn't change the formula.
