    You forgot that we don’t use 100% of the energy intake, like at all. That invalidates your assumptions IMO.

      Huh? No I didn’t, it’s all accounted for.

      Unused energy is stored, or passed out as waste (literally calories down the toilet).

        So to follow a diet you should calculate not just caloric intake but also caloric euh, well, disposal 😅?

          You can do whatever you want. All I’m saying is that you will lose weight if your calorie intake from all sources is less than your calorie output from all sources.
