So using that logic, no exercise and equal calories = same weight gain/loss for each persons?0 -
1. Accuracy of counting
2. Different metabolism levels
3. Accuracy of exercise
I subscribe to the basic premise of cal in cal out but recognize many variables in the equation ... age affects body composition, activity level, etc. women, men, weight... all these things affect the equation.0 -

Ultimately you cannot reasonably expect to find two perfectly similar people to test that out on.0

Yes, it is simply in/out.
If you take in more than you push out, you will gain weight. Vice versa, you will lose weight.0 -

But all those factors would determine your calorie # for maintenance and eating below that would cause weight loss so.......0 -

Yes, it still comes down to calories in/out. It is just how to accurately obtain an accurate caloric requirement that is the issue.0 -

I think all those things affect the "calories out" component of the equation.0 -
In for the conspiracy.0

You're just playing devil's advocate here.. you already know the answer....0 -
Why do I feel this thread is about to go swirling down the Porcelain Bowl of Pedantry?0

Shhh! Don't ruin it.
I'm still not sure which side of the argument he's on.0 -
Metabolism for one. Some people plateau because their bodies refuse to lose more- either in starvation mode or some other chemical imbalance. Not everybody burns the same amount of calories; men burn it faster for example. Medication is a big factor. Illness. I kind of wonder if it is simply just calories in and out. I know there was a guy who did a study who ate only junk at under his caloric needs and still lost weight...but I'm not completely convinced. I'm hard pressed to believe someone could eat more than their supposed to in only fruits and veggies and gain weight. I could be wrong though...0
