I can't help you then.
I don't need help, you're the one bringing up food comparison based on weight, which is inaccurate and .
1lb of steak obviously doesn't have the same calories amount as 1lb of veggies.
I've supported my side of the argument
You did not, but it's ok, believe what you want.
You guys have done nothing to support your own argument except asking me to further explain my side in an attempt to trip me up.
I'm not trying to trip you, I'm just telling you that your statement saying calories don't have anything to do with diet in incorrect. You didn't explain why you believe this.
So try to eat 10 000 calories of food everyday and stay fit.
Take Michael Phelps for example. He need to eat 16 000 calories of food to keep up with his highly active lifestyle (swimming) or he would be in calorie deficit and lose weight. If he stopped swimming and kept that diet, he would inevitably end up like Chris Christie.
There's an explanation for that, it's called CICO (Calorie In Calorie Out).
You don't have to be passive-aggressive when debating a topic, especially when you are wrong/mislead and confused.
I'm not your enemy.
I know you're not my enemy, but you are still missing the point. The calculation between CI is different from the calculation of CO. Calories cannot be used as a standard unit of human energy output because every human has not only different values for the same variables, but also completely different variables per human. Like Michael Phelps as you mentioned. His caloric needs can't be compared to anyone else. And also like you mentioned the caloric output of every food is different.
By definition the number of calories you eat is arbitrary.
And also like you mentioned the caloric output of every food is different.
It isn’t different. If someone’s body burns 2000 calories per day, they need to eat 2000 calories of food. It doesn’t matter what kind of food it is, even if the subject gets sick because of the lack of vitamins and nutrients.
Michael Phelps explains it himself.

Michael Phelps is a swimmer. Not a dietician or a doctor. Let's do videos then...

The body uses energy. This energy comes from breaking chemical bonds between molecules. The bonds' energy is quantified. Measure it in calories or joules etc. Yeah, this means "CO" can be different per person and difficult to measure, but doesn't mean CICO is invalid for achieving weight loss.
(Can't believe I am still responding 😂)
Then stop responding. CICO is a myth! You're an idiot 😂
Why do you keep tagging AOU? Are you unable to argue for yourself? Do you need validation from someone who shares your opinion?
