That issue does not affect the correctness of CICO, which is more or less thermodynamics. This issue just means that the CI for two people given the exact same portion of food is not necessarily the same.
- mistermann 11y agoIf one is discussing effectiveness of different weight loss approaches, ignoring CI variance based on the exact input foods, and the underlying reasons for that, seems.....unwise.
- vonmoltke 11y agoWho said anything about ignoring it? It is a tangential question.
- mistermann 11y agoThread title: "Why do people put on differing amounts of weight?" "I'm still pretty sure that calories-in/calories-out theory is more-or-less correct." Counting calories-in as calories absorbed is not exactly tangential, it may very well be the essence of the conversation.
- vonmoltke 11y agoIt's tangential because, despite being at best an approximation, calories in is still a measure that can be used to reduce intake. It might take experimentation to find the limits for you. It's quite simple: if you are gaining weight, eat less. The variation between calories marked and calories absorbed is not great enough to fundamentally matter.
