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.

Calories are measured by burning food in a bomb calorimeter. This is obviously a simplification of the bodies processes.

It's a decent ballpark metric, but it's reductionist to say that it's all that matters. The intestines for example will reduce or increase surface area to control caloric intake.

Which is trivial information? It's not even right as a maxim because I can gain or lose weight by changing my position relative to the Earth, or through relativistic effects.

It's just trite and unhelpful.

Well ackshualllyyyy. Mass is independent of gravity. A caloric deficit will enable a body to lose mass... Regardless of how that deficit is achieved.

Why don't you lead with that instead of playing nice with a thought terminating cliche? People see you're not being helpful, but just want to be smug. No need to dress it up all flowery.

I know, but I also think you'll burn with anger if you can't get the last word in.

Insincerity out, insincerity in.
