    Yes, they matter. But in what context are we talking?

    CICO matters in gaining WEIGHT. But hormones will have an impact as to how much of that gained weight is muscle vs fat.

    Hormones have an impact on many variables, but unless your goals require artificial help or you are doing something physically very extreme, you shouldn't need to ever think about them to reach your body composition goals.

    Some hormones also affect the CO side of the equation directly. Outside of a conscious effort to restrict, they will also affect the CI side by driving hunger signals, but each person can forcibly affect change there, so it's less of a factor.
