Ah, that does make a difference. Still, weight gain is still a function of calories in > calories out

  Assuming that: 1. All excess calories end up as fat, and 2. All weight gain is fat Then it is a function generally. However, if that is not the case, then you have many possible outputs for any given input, and that's not a function. For a forum where functional programming is frequently discussed, I think it is worth using the term "function of" in the strict sense.

    Agreed. I was too lazy to correct by misuse of "function", hoping you would understand me.
