Yep! Another FPH user more eloquent than I am explained that not one case in all of human history exists of a human gaining weight in the absence of food (i.e. prison camps or famine). The fact that there is an approximate variation of 300cal for human TDEE, so there is a sliver (pun intended) of truth in that between two randomly chosen people of the same height/build, one can eat an additional single, normal sized candy bar a day and the other cannot while both maintain the same weight, leads to the misconception that calories in/out is false. Add the fact that most of us have friends/family with height differences and activity differences and suddenly it can appear as if person A is fat in the absence of food. Of course, FPH understands that appearances are deceiving!
