While you obviously have to take in calories to live, and you will obviously lose weight if you stop eating, the calories-in, calories-out model, colloquially known as CICO, doesn't really work mathematically, and Dr. Sten Ekberg, one of the professionals I watch on YouTube, explains why in the video below, which I've cued to begin at 2:03. This is the best takedown of CICO's fuzzy math that I've heard yet. The body is not a ruthless calculator that precisely processes energy; it is a metabolic machine in which each person's metabolic condition is unique, and no mathematical formula can ever properly represent that. It comes down to knowing your own body (a skill I haven't yet mastered).
