A joule is also a unit of energy. The SI base unit for enery to be precise. Has nothing to do with this conversation or diet.
1 Joule is the force of 1 newton displacing a mass through a distance of 1 metre in the direction of the force applied
Lifting an apple 1 meter takes 1 joule of energy
1 calorie = 4186.8 joules
What's your point? None of this has anything to do with how the human body metabolizes food.
How should we measure the human body's energy consumption?
You can't. Not in a universal manner. Not even close. Humans are different. Genetics, blood type, lifestyle, regional diet, etc.
Do a rabbit hole...
I'm not trying to change your mind. Believe what you want. But I have a good feeling that if you did take some time to look into it and critically think about the data you will change your own mind. Maybe not...
Well every time I cut calories I lose weight
