But MAN, saying that you can eat at a surplus and still lose weight--that is a pretty egregious error and I can't remain silent on something like that.
In all fairness to her, my understanding is it's theoretically possible to lose weight in a calorie surplus, since the thermic effect of food (TEF) varies for different foods.
This study showed that the TEF was higher for a whole food meal than a processed one of equal calories:

Okay but TEF is still part of the calories in/calories out equation, so if TEF is greater that makes you no longer in a surplus.0
