A calorie is NOT a calorie.

And that’s why the concept of CICO is flawed.

            On average most pizza slices are 300 calories.
            At 8 slices that's 2400 CALORIES you stupid frick.
            Did you also double check with restaurant and see that their nutrition info did as a matter of fact say 1000 cal because if you didn't, buddy you made an assumption and were horribly wrong and off the mark.

      I have actually heard ketards make this argument before. I guess the problem is that CICO relies on not being completely moronic, hence why so many people have a problem with it. Just eat normal food that doesn't come out of packages, count your calories, and take in less than you expend. Follow those three simple rules and you basically can't frick up weight loss. It's only when some idiot that thinks himself far smarter than he is comes along and has a brilliant idea on how to improve this simple process that it fails. Those idiots always seem to be fat fricks or on their way to becoming fat fricks, so it's pretty easy to ignore them.

The title of this video is about as moronic as asking "Are all miles the same?". Sure the scenery may change, but the length will always be equal.
    Sugar being unhealthy has absolutely 0 correlation with CICO being incorrect or not. The man did not disprove in any way shape or form that eating less calories can in fact make you lose weight, but that's to be expected you can't exactly break the laws of physics just because "sugar is le bad".

        Ok one at a time then since you seem to be missing the whole point of my rant.

        No incorrect, one mile will still be one mile. If you're measuring the ground it doesn't matter if it curves or bends, in order for you to measure the mile it will still have to be equal, your car won't care if the road is bent or curved it will still measure 1 mile when it travels said distance. Like I said, the scenery may change, but if you're measuring a mile of ground then you can't measure two stretches of ground for 1 mile and get different results. The stretches of ground you measured must both be equally 1 mile.

        >1 calorie will always be equal to 1 calorie
        this demonstrable false as the calorie calculation as a leftover from early dumber times that didn't take into account digestive realities
        eat 2000 calories of protein or 2000 calories of sugar per day see how you feel
        and do you think the effects of drinking 2000 calories of corn syrup sodas is the same as glugging down 2000 calories worth of olive oil

        A calorie is a unit of measurement, it's not sugar and it's not olive oil and it's not corn syrup. But I'll explain it further because you can't seem to grasp the math here.
        A calorie is a unit of measurement, and it is generally measured with the following "heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius (or one kelvin)."
        So regardless of what you ingested, when you body produces enough heat to warm up 1ºC/F of water, contrats your just generated 1 calorie.
        ------------------------------------------------------
        The title of the video is moronic because it's making you think calories aren't the same, they literally are. The only thing the video is correct about is that sugar is bad for you and you shouldn't eat it. That has absolutely nothing to do with how much body heat you produce ffs.
        Once again, if you don't ingest enough energy sources for your body, you will have to find that energy somewhere, usually the body itself. This is irrefutable and impossible to ignore, not only is it defined by the laws of thermodynamic it is literally reproducible, just don't eat at all your body will start to canibalize itself until you can no longer continue on that process and die.

          You're stupid, huh? A mile is not a mile to your car. The energy expenditure going uphill is greater than going downhill or on flat ground. The gas consumed that makes your car run doesn't consider it the same either. It doesn't matter if it measures the same because it doesn't function the same.

          The topic is fitness and weight loss in regards to calories. All calories are not equal as they have different effects on your body depending on how you get them. I'm not saying this to discredit CICO, only to discredit your assertion that all miles or all calories are identical. They are not. The same way two humans that weigh identically can vary dramatically in their actual weight distribution. Someone who weighs 200lbs could be morbidly obese or normal weight depending on how tall they are.

            "The energy expenditure going uphill is greater than going downhill"... So? Do you measure energy with miles? No? Then 1 mile will still be 1 mile...
            Just because;
            ```
            1 straight mile = 0.2 galons
            1 uphill mile = 0.4 galons
            doesn't mean that;
            1 mile == 1 mile
            ```
            On the topic, all calories are in fact equal... They are as I've described "heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius (or one kelvin).". The calorie itself has no effect on your body, it is just a way for us to (imprecisely might I add) measure our energy expenditure, that's because we can't accurately measure it any other way (like for example measuring amino acids).
            Finally, just because a fat short guy can weight idk 100lbs and a tall slender guy can also weigh 100lbs does in no way shape or form mean that they don't both weigh literally the same. 100lbs=100lbs
            Calories are a unit of measurement, they are a mathematical concept, therefore you cannot aproach it with any other mentality. 1 calorie=1 calorie. 1 mile = 1 mile. 100lbs=100lbs.

              You're an NPC. NPC brains are so programmable they can be taught to ignore reality.

              The reality you're ignoring is that a measurement (e.g. calorie, gram, liter) cannot be separated from the substance being measured. A gram of silver has a number of differences from a gram of gold because they're physically different substances. Measurements don't make different things equivalent.

              A calorie of powdered/blended/liquified carbohydrate isn't even equivalent to a calorie of solid carbohydrate. That's without even getting into carb vs fat or different fatty acids. Food can only be judged as a substance, not a measurement.

                Bruh, 1g of silver weighs literally the same as 1g of gold. They both weigh 1g. Their colors and sizes may differ, but you don't measure those with grams, so they don't matter for the 1g measurement. Are you literally this bad at math?
                When you're talking about calories you're talking about calories, heat, not what produces it. You can also get heat from burning coal, you can also measure it with calories. Doesn't matter. 1 calorie=1 calorie.

                People are measuring fat, protein, and carbs with "calories". Not heat.

                Fat protein and carbs are physically different substances with very different effects on the body. For example no matter how many "calories" of sugar you eat it can't be turned into muscle.

                You've been tricked. It's a very simple magic trick, they used "calorie" measurements as a distraction to get you to forget about reality. The substances being measured are in fact different.

                Calories are a great way to figure out how much carb and fat you should be eating. Your protein should always be consistent 0.8-1.1 per lb of LBM.

                Most ketotards have no idea that CICO is actually the only proper way to do keto. You're just getting full off fat and protein and accidentally eat at a deficit because you probably weigh 600 pounds.

          your body is a calorimeter that literally burns your food to heat water is whats your argument
          we are talking about cico and because average people don't have labgear for accurate measurement my counter argument is that the co measurement is inaccurate because it doesnt take into account the digestive effect of the type of calories you eat
          which is centered on two main types either direct energy requirements in digestion or simply not digesting the food at all and shitting it out
          your body also doesnt exist to heat water if anything bodyheat is a byproduct of your chemical operations

            Not the guy youre talking too, but the body isnt a closed system. and a calories isnt strictly a calorie, but it still doesnt disprove CICO. theres just some complexity to it, that the anti CICO cant wrap their head around

              this board doesnt have id's so its easier to get caught up in the convo, but i never said cico is wrong
              i specifically stressed the complexity that muddles it because co is difficult to measure and food labeling uses outdated misleading measurements

      >1 calorie will always be equal to 1 calorie
      this demonstrable false as the calorie calculation as a leftover from early dumber times that didn't take into account digestive realities
      eat 2000 calories of protein or 2000 calories of sugar per day see how you feel
      and do you think the effects of drinking 2000 calories of corn syrup sodas is the same as glugging down 2000 calories worth of olive oil

          its not, you just choose to close your ears for the other side. I still havent seen one single study where people gain weight on a caloric deficit.

          the anti CICO people uses a bunch of mechanistic studies, usually done on animals, and completely ignore all the research on diets where people lose the expected amount of weight by closely monitoring their intake.
          The anti CICO people cant fathom there are some complexity to the topic and just go " ITS ALL WRONG" when its not, and it works very well. Cant see the forest for the trees.

            You don't need any studies you stupid frick how dense are you to not understand that a calorie is a measurement of heat energy nothing more. Therefore it's not possible to say I ate 2220 calories and think this is the total energy you a human derived for use. The videos I linked cover in exhaustive detail all of these points and more. I'm not going to continually type it out for you idiots on every thread.

                A calorie of powdered carbohydrate isn't equal to a calorie of solid carbohydrate. That's without even comparing different macros.

                Yeah you have nothing of value to say. How many 'Calories' are being consumed when nutritional labels are allowed to be off by 20 percent. Account for protein's thermic effect. Realise protein may not be used for energy so tell me what percentage becomes ATP. Correctly calculate your fluctuations in bmr. Use a bomb calorimeter to burn your shit each time. Calculate your body composition. Boring go watch the video and frick off

                i just argued that double label water methods show huge errors. which it does.
                also how would 120kcal hinder weight loss on a 500kcal deficit? i still havent seen any studies where theyre at a kcal deficit and gain weight.
                Ludwig keeps making reviews to fit his views, so he can push the carb-insulin model, even though the model is absolutely horrible at predicting weight loss. where CICO doesnt have the same issues. and consistently shows to work and make people lose/gain/maintain weight by calculating their needs.

                and you still ignore all the research where they do isocaloric diets or weightloss diets, and how it works so consistently
                Again, anti-CICO people arguing neglible stuff, cause they cant fathom that a method can work unless its 100% accurate.

                its not. cause you burn more kcals as you gain weight, so it will plateu. 15 kcal wont cause any major weight gain, unless you keep increasing the kcal intake.
                also why do you say a 15kcal excessive intake would lead to major difference if you dont believe in CICO? are you against or for CICO?

    CICO is true, but it also isn't that simple.
    For example, if you consume a calorie and your gut can't take it into your blood and use it in any way, that's "calories out" when it comes out in your shit, or a calorie that was never "in" in the first place, depending on how you want to look at it. An example of this is fiber: humans don't break down fiber into a usable carbohydrate and so it just comes out in our shit. It's still counted as a calorie in the labeling though (mostly because American food labeling is descended from livestock feed labeling regulations. Not kidding, look it up)

    Keto sometimes appears to work just because your body has an upper limit on how much fat it can intake in one sitting based on bile production limitations. That's why when you do keto and really push a ton of high-fat food into just a few meals you get disgusting greasy shits. Any grease that's in your shit is a "calorie out" too. Cutting out sugar also eliminates the "sugar crash" hunger effect that most Americans experience 3-6 times per day, so it's a way they can trick themselves into snacking less often (ie, fewer calories in). Of course you should stop eating shit with sugar in it anyway so it's not like that's some magic keto uniquely brings to the table.

    Let's assume you burn exactly 2200 calories each day for a month and you eat 2100 calories daily with the majority of the macro being carbs. Will you eventually:
    >Lose weight
    >Gain weight
    >Stay the same

    I have yet to hear a single argument against CICO that doesn't at least once mention eating nothing but pure sugar, as if that's something that sane, rational people often do. Also, never heard anyone argue against it that wasn't obviously a moron that can only speak in hyperbole.
    Why is the argument never "CICO is unreliable because Calories Out is a moving target that's near impossible to accurately measure and you have to rely on potentially faulty estimations?" Because that would be actual criticism of CICO. Instead, it's nothing but keto cultists and fat apologists insisting that it's possible to gain weight while eating below maintenance and failing to show even a single example.

    why is it only fat people who say CICO is bullshit?
    I never heard a skinny or fit person say that.

    A calorie is literally a calorie. You morons are trying to argue that a Joule in one case is not the same as a Joule in another.

    Think of it this way: A 2000mAh battery may last 18 hours in one phone while it only lasts 16 hours on another. Does that magically make that 2000 mAh battery different? No, it's the same fricking thing, just the machine it's in differs slightly, and no that doesn't mean measuring a battery in mAh is irrelevant or ineffective, it just means you're too moronic to consider more than one variable.

      A calorie of one substance is different from a calorie of another substance.

      If you went to the grocery store would you pay the same price for a pound of ground beef as you do for a pound of ribeye? Why not? They weigh the same, so they're the same? Of course they are different. You know they are different.

      The substance being measured is ALWAYS more important than the measurement.

      >1 calorie of protein
      >1 calorie of fat
      >1 calorie of carbs
      >1 calorie of refined carbs/sugar
      >1 calorie of fiber
      All of the above are processed differently by your body. You aren't a steam engine and your stomach isn't a furnace.

    Whoa it's almost as if the different macro nutrients have different roles in our body! Whoa man..
