The thing a lot of people get wrong about "Calories in, calories out" is that it's NOT a diet strategy. It's just quite literally the explanation for what's happening according to physical law.

If you're trying to learn how to bounce a basketball it doesn't really help if someone says "It's just gravity and the transference of kinetic and potential energy". That doesn't give you the tools you need to actually get better at bouncing a ball.

Counting calories in might be a diet plan - but it's incomplete, and it doesn't work well for everyone.

Dieting is a skill. You need to learn it. You need to learn a diet plan that allows you to adhere to the physical law.
