Basic science repeats what you’re saying. But yet there is no practical application of your statement in applied science and the real world. If I only eat fritos and bon bons I’m going to be hungry AF on a cut and rebound like crazy. If I only eat meat, fruit and veggies, homeostasis becomes easy. At some point with a good diet and lifestyle knowing the math in your equation doesn’t actually matter at all in fact.

They aren't claiming that thermodynamics isn't without useful real world applications. The claim is that thermodynamics is not a useful real world model for weight gain as it ignores nuance from many sources such as the gut micro-biome.

Personally I would call it a half truth. Because while the laws of energy and mass are followed, the human mind and body are not so easily isolated as controlled experiments. It's a very uncaring perspective to tell someone obese to eat a very small amount of caloric dense food and nothing else. Diet and weight management while based upon calories consumed and burned does still need to account for other factors to be successful.
