[@crayonnnnnnn]

I think there's a misunderstanding around the statement of people eating whatever they want without getting fat. It's not that they can eat anything wihtout getting fat. It's that they can eat anything they WANT without getting fat. My girlfriend eat absolutely whatever she wants and she is 125 pounds for 5ft4 (approx 23% body fat). The thing is, what she want is around 2000 calories a day, after that she is force feeding herself. No she could not eat 4000 calories/day and not gain weight, but she can in fact eat what she WANTS and not get fat. She puts is absolutely no effort, her body is just intelligent enough to tell her to stop when she's not hungry anymore. On my side, even at 2800 calories (my maintenance) I'm starving. I'm comfortable at around 4000 calories. Even after years of eating healthy and maintaining my lost weight, it's still a struggle every day, while my girlfriend has visible abs without any effort. CICO is absolutely real for everyone, but appetite vastly differs.

[@RickyVis]

Also your caloric intake on any given day is irrelevent, what matters is your weekly and monthly intake. On any given day I could eat up to 6000 calories and remain lean and give the appearance that I can eat whatever without getting fat. But the reality is that I just automatically eat significantly less the following days and by the end of the week the daily average wil be around maintenance.

[@aisac21]

​@@RickyVis i d say monthly is a bit overstreched as you could gain significant bodyfat in 2-3 weeks if you don t keep some accountability, that would mean you d have to get on a really strict and low calorie diet for the remaining week to even come close to net 0 surplus. I think the weekly average is best as its flexible enough for the majority of people while at the same time not giving enough time for calories and bodyfat to significantly accumulate

[@aisac21]

I think Mike Israetel said it best. We don t spend 24hours (usually) with the people who seem to eat whatever and however they want while still being skinny. They will tend to do a combination of more moving around, fidgeting, etc, as well as eat less or nothing at all throughout the day. They might 'quench' their hunger thoroughly in one or maybe 2 heavy meals and not eat much of anything the rest of the day

[@RickyVis]

@@aisac21 Sure monthly on it's own is not a good idea. But using daily and weekly averages to calculate monthly averages is a good idea as it gives you a better perspective on long term weight loss. You don't have to lose weight every week, I mean it's unlikely someone gained weight every week of their lifes untill the point of starting their weight loss. All that matters is that you're in an average deficit over a prolonged period. Another good idea is to plan in caloric intake for the following week. So for example if there is a birthday or something next saturday you write in more calories for saturday and compensate by lowering it the rest of the days.

[@kattenihatten]

Thank you ❤ Well put! I was reflecting on the same thing. As a person struggling with weight issues, I don't question CICO. But, it is not really an answer about how to deal with hunger. Eating to either side of your "satiety window" is difficult for any stretch of time. I used to be like your girlfriend and not have to care about what or how much to eat. I felt satisfied on my maintenance calories (even though I had never counted calories in my life at that time), and I had went through three pregnancies. Medication for depression changed something in that balance for me, and now 10 years later (and not on any meds) I feel so hungry trying to eat at a proper calorie target, or even trying to just keep at a stable weight.

[@matthewgalvano7248]

Still falls under CICO though. Best approach is to balance efforts on both the In and the Out part, based on what best fits your lifestyle.

[@The_Real_Grand_Nagus]

The claim against CICO that breaks thermodynamics is the idea that one can eat less than their TDEE and still gain weight. Although I suspect metabolisms to be within 90%+ the same efficiency, eating a lot but not gaining weight doesn't defy CICO, and can be somewhat relative to each person. There are so many variables that go in like NEAT, portion size, etc. that it's really hard to tell what is going on.

[@TJSal2006]

I completely agree with everything you said. As someone who has experimented with various diets and now strictly focuses on calories in/out, I find the most challenging aspect, which I believe many others also struggle with, is accurately determining my basal metabolic rate (BMR). In my case, I tended to exaggerate my level of fitness and activity, leading me to overestimate my calorie needs and subsequently overeat. Although it wasn't a significant overestimation, it still hindered my progress in losing body fat as effectively as I desired. This misinformed mindset about our true energy needs is, I believe, a major obstacle for many people, including myself, in achieving our weight loss goals.

[@jdawg414]

I totally agree! I used a calorie tracking app and was religious about weighing food but maybe lost 2 pounds in 1-2 months. I think I need to eat on the very lower end of an allowance.

[@BigBADSTUFF69]

@@jdawg414yep the best way to figure out your expenditure is to do weigh ins along with your tracking, you can see with great clarity how much you are actually burning each day by how much the scale goes down over time. The estimates are just a starting point.

[@kester41]

The scales and a tape measure are the only truely accurate measurement devices (as long as you use the same set of scales!).

[@2adamast]

It's registering food intake that's the problem for me. Consider Oprah apple pie at 11 at night, how much, as it could be 1000 kcal, did I note it down, for me pie is taboo as it is unaccountable food. Where for BMR I could be 100 kcal off, but it will stay totally predictable the same every day.

[@likithstochastic]

CICO is a manifestation of the laws of thermodynamics, specifically the conservation laws in the context of chemical bonds. We are living in 2024 and some people still can’t grasp CICO! At first I used to think, it’s because of lack of science literacy in physics, but what I realized later is that a sizable chunk of my physics friends themselves don’t think CICO works (They use the ‘It doesn’t always work’ argument). This is disgusting considering the fact that a few of them come from Theoretical physics background and they are also doing “Research”. The real question is not if CICO works or not, but how one can design their diets in order to make the process of creating Caloric deficit/surplus easy and manageable.

[@brucejensen3081]

Why bother worrying about what is causing them to consume more calories than what they expend, they just got to go CICO and everything will be fine and dandy.

[@RickyVis]

The main issue why CICO doesn't always work well is because people assume it means calories eaten and calories expended but it's actually calories absorbed and calories expended and both are nearly impossible to measure with 100% accuracy and even a slight miscalculation can be the difference between losing weight, maintaining and gaining weight.

[@likithstochastic]

@@RickyVis That’s right! You brought up an important point. In order to overcome this issue, we don’t just set the trajectory of weight loss or gain as a single line, instead we set an uncertainty band around the expected trajectory line and make it in to a trajectory band. As long as we stay within this band during the cut/bulk/maintenance, it’s fine. It’s not only impossible to measure the Calories absorbed and Calories expended accurately, but even the Calories in the food. Despite this, tracking food Calories is the best we can do. On the other hand, the Calories we burn is the hardest to keep track of.

[@Melesniannon]

@@RickyVis Now I'm curious, how exactly are you "absorbing" calories that aren't being eaten? And no, a "slight" miscalculation doesn't make the difference, unless for some stupid reason you *assume* you can calculate it all exactly and think a 50 calorie difference per day is the key to losing or gaining weight. In practice people who try to lose weight can safely calculate a 250-500 calorie deficiency and lose weight, once you start monitoring loss from there you get a better idea of where you're at and you'll be fine. There's very little accuracy required.

[@RickyVis]

@@Melesniannon Other way around. Just because you eat 'calories' doesn't mean you absorb them. So when you eat a 100 calories of potato chips you absorb a completely different amount than if you eat 100 calories of broccoli. And how is your 250-500 calorie deficiency going to be accurate when food labels can be off by 20% and you have no idea what amount you're actually using in a given day? It also doesn't help that in the US for some whacky reason things are measured in 'cups', I mean wtf is a cup?

I'm assuming she's conflating CICO with the diets that involve counting calories (like weight watchers or whatever). It's wild to me how often that happens. It turns the science into semantics.

Clearly if she had the real answer to obesity she'd be a billionaire and one the world's most famous humans in history.

I mean, a single piece of pie can have like 300 or 400 calories lol. That one piece can literally be the difference between a slight caloric deficit or a slight surplus, leading to weight loss or gain over time, no matter what time of day you eat it. And she didn't even say just a piece, she said "an apple pie" lol. Also, eating right before bed can fuck up your sleep, setting the stage for more weight gain

[@ebutuoyYT]

A friend of mine ate crap and was stick thin / lean, two things I noticed about him, he had good muscle tone and when he ate his crappy foods, his appetite rapidly went to zero. This person was gifted good genetics for muscle mass, to keep his metabolism high and act as a store for glucose and also had a very sensitive gut / brain hunger axis. He obeyed the laws of thermodynamics, the reason for his leaness was him subconsciously obeying the law of thermodynamics better than most people, via genetic factors linked to energy sensing / appetite control. If technology allowed for an accurate, instant readout of how many calories we have absorbed versus how many we have used for metabolic process, only the very stupid or mentally unstable would become morbidly obese, but as we have no easy way of knowing our energy balance on a hourly / daily basis, many of us tend to gain weight, as it's easy to gain, but harder to lose.
