It's still your resting rate which can be determined if you want to lose weight with calories in vs out. It's not hard to determine what your personal burn rate is and reaction to food with a food scale a regular scale and pen and paper. Using the excuse of I react different vs you is bullshit its still in vs out on a personal level. You have an individual burn rate.
You're completely ignoring that on an individual basis it's in vs out still and the end of the day regardless of those variables and just becsuse you have a metal disorder does not detract from at the end it's still individual in vs out.
It will always boil down to in vs out. Toss in 528855 variables.
No pun intended with the boil.
If your consistently eating 3500 calories as per counted based on regulated labeling and not losing weight lower till you do and find the caloric level as to when you enter a deficit on and individual basis.
I feel you're arguing that on a macro level (haha not nutrients) saying everyone of equal mass and output per day should not react the same and I agree but it dosent mean you can't just lose weight by determining your INDIVIDUAL caloric requirement and adjusting appropriatly which is just in vs out.
Thanks man, you're doing god's work. I really didn't feel like reiterating the same point for the 5th time in this thread

Calories in vs calories out is literally the simpleton's answer to this topic. Yes, it's true at a base level. No, it's not nearly as effective or as refined an answer as possible, and you look pretty dumb if you just keep shouting the same basic statement repeatedly when people say "yeah, but there's more to it". Y'know, because there is.
It's like someone asking "what's 1+1" and you saying "IT'S A NUMBER"
Yeah, it's a number. We can be a lot more specific, which is far more useful.
The point we are trying to get across is that literally everybody can lose weight using this simpleton's method and that most people use exactly what you just said as an excuse as to why they cannot lose weight, when in fact it's just technicalities that don't matter for the average overweight person.

Not everybody's out is the same though, and we can't reliably measure the "out" on a person by person basis. So it's not useful to just say "calories in, calories out". In addition when you exercise it lowers your basal rate to compensate, so for most exercise isn't very useful.
Calories in is also not measured well. There are pretty large errors on packages, up to 20% allowable, so it's not really useful to calorie count either.
No shit it's not the same for everybody, isn't that what we've been saying from the start? Are you guys just cherry-picking parts of our posts?
It is extremely easy to determine your TDEE through trial and error. It's not this herculean task that you guys make it out to be. The variations you're speaking of are really easy to make up for, especially for a massively overweight person. They're not athletes who needs to go just below 85KG to have the best possible results in a competition, you have 50 pounds to lose...
