I thought these articles were interesting. They discuss some of the variables that affect calories in/calories out.
[Infographic] The Surprising Problem With Calorie Counting -- The "Calories In" Edition.
[New Infographic]: Part 2 of "The Surprising Problem With Calorie Counting"-- Calories Out.
@kudo_kb these were the main articles I had in mind that I was going to post in response to you but I was beaten to it!
Eat less? Not necessarily. Eat better.
My obese friends on diet are frightened by the amounts of food I eat. They shouldn't be - they should pay attention to what kind of food I eat.
Me as well haha
As far as "calorie is a calorie".... I've posted this before but I'll post it again - eating 2500 calories of well partioned carb/fat protein and going down to 2000 calories but with the new 2000 calories all being donuts, muffins and cookies, I very much doubt someone will lose weight. I am 100% with @Pavel Macek on this one, it is absolutely about WHAT it is. Cut down (or out) added sugar, don't eat processed food and magical things happen
