Also what we eat affects hormones in complex ways, so while the CICO formula may be true in some narrow technical sense, even physiologically it doesn't explain the phenomenon to a useful degree.

This is both obvious from understanding the mechanics, but also proven through many actual studies. I'm not sure if you agree with that or not, but if you do, then what do you mean that CICO doesn't explain the phenomenon?
