[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All calories are the same. That's the entire point of having a unit of measurement. The fact that weight loss and weight gain are complicated mean that it's *not* a simple matter of calories in, calories out because, again, the calorie is a basic unit of measurement.[/quote] Yea calories are a basic measure of unit. The complication is not in the unit of energy. What is complicated is it is high variable and non constant. People eat different foods of different quantities on a daily basis. It isn’t static. Neither is the energy burned. Lots of variables go into how much energy you burn daily and those are constantly changing, even day to day. [/quote]
