Flexible dieting vs clean eating

So i know that clean is preferred but how does flexible dieting work. Is it just calories in vs calories out? I heard that Calorie in calorie out isnt all that simple though. So if i were to have noodles but still be under my maintainence, will i burn the same amount of fat as if i were clean eating under my maintainence

    I think we can get ourselves into trouble with labels because clean eating or flexible eating may not be the same for any two people. You simply need to come up with a food plan that helps you best reach your goal to lose weight. Weight loss is accomplished via a calorie deficit.

    So, you will lose weight no matter what you eat, or how you eat, as long as you stay in a calorie deficit. Everything else you throw into the mix, such as flexible eating or clean eating, or anything, are just tools to keep you on your journey toward weight management
