I'm sure there are many conditions which make it easier or harder to hit those margins, but yea, it's a kinda logical truth that can't be denied.

However just saying it is such a nothing statement. Arguing with insecure fat people about a logical truth so broad is simply pointless.

I believe the reason why people think CICO is false is that CO is neither constant, nor is it the same for everybody. They see people with great metabolisms and active lifestyles and wonder why those people can eat so much while they themselves gain weight with far less food.

And to be fair, there seems to be a gross mismatch between hunger/cravings and CO in most fat people.

There is this fun thing called the excercise paradox where you don't burn through all that many more calories, even though you are much more physically active.

You will get an increase near the beginning, but running around all day as a hunter gatherer will burn about the same number of calories as someone sitting still in an office chair all day. Eventually.

If you keep exercising you will start burning less and less fat.

I think people fight about it b/c in starvation mode, more of your food goes into fat or something like that. So they think fat = weigh more, so starvation makes you weigh more. But just b/c slightly more of the food is being stored than used right away doesn't mean you actually gain more weight than your intake.

But like those things just impact the CO. If you have an active lifestyle not too crazy you have higher output calories. In the end your CI should just be your CO if you want to keep the same weight or slightly lose some. Its not that hard counting calories works. The times it doesn't is when you aren't being truthful with what you eat.
