I’m assuming that some people burn a larger percent of the calories they consume.
I wonder if a study has been done that carefully measured calories in and calories pooped out to try to figure out what is happening. By comparing this to their diets, we may see some patterns.
If it is true that some people can eat all day and not gain weight and others gain weight if they eat the same and gain a lot, then we should be able to find the calories somewhere.
If the thin people are burning it off with an elevated metabolism, we should see a higher average body temperature and more CO2 in their breath.
No matter what people say, those calories have to go somewhere. They don’t just disappear.
Conversely, those calories do not just appear by osmosis or photosynthesis in morbidly obese individuals. The caloric intake exists to maintain the obesity.
WTH does that mean?
Are you talking about anabolism or catabolism?
