Absolutely not, it is not that simple. 70 calories from half an apple is not the same as 70 calories from an egg

if you're a bodybuilder looking to cut/bulk or if you're diabetic or something then fair enough.

If you're a fatty who needs to lose weight then CICO is 99.9% of your problem.

I've read countless papers that studied how much a low metabolism vs high metabolism person burns calories when resting and if both people rested for 24 hours straight and were roughly the same age/sex/weight/fat vs muscle- the calorie differential for the entire day was less than 100

So how can we have a 400lb man blame it on metabolism. EAT LESS. fucking MOVE your body

Yes CICO matters, but the TYPE of calories consumed matters too. Fat and protein are more satiating than carbs, they create less of an insulin response, and the body can actually utilize fat and protein for energy and repair. Carbs are only used for quick energy, if you eat too many carbs and don't exercise, they add to your waistline. That is why low-carb and ketogenic diets are very powerful for weight loss, because your body learns to tap into its fat reserves for energy, instead of relying on glucose energy from carbs.
