CICO is always true. What can change is the CO based on metabolism and how your body burns calories. It doesn't change that much though at rest. You change it with movement and exercise and of course you control the CI part by what you eat. A calorie in is a calorie in but a calorie of fiber may take more for your body to…

Me! Currently at 157 aiming for between 130 and 145. I've never been below 140 in my adult life so I don't even know if it's possible so trying to listen to my body.

Spritz with Pam to help it stick but I love sprinkling Seasoned Salt on mine.

Sugar free maple syrup and cinnamon. Could add bananas or nuts to this too. Also good in cottage cheese.
