re: It's the carbs bruh

I don’t think anyone would argue that calories are not equal in terms of body performance, composition, or general health.

CICO is simply in regards to weight loss.

So yes, when it comes to simply losing weight, it is that simple.

But when it comes to general health, obviously it becomes more complex, although not near as complex as some want to make it.

I agree with this. 2000 calories worth of Twinkies has a lot different impact on a human body than 2,000 calories of ribeye steak.

this i agree with when talking overall health and what kind of weight it will be

we can disgree but I have over 200 studys and atleast a dozen meta analysis that is on my side

once calories and protein are equated, you lose body weight at the same rate. Body fat too.



the misconception comes from people not tracking calories and going low carb, they tend to keep energy output the same and eat less over time and tend to lose water weight.


if you really believe in CICO then you have not really tracked closely.
