Not sure this is a new frontier, exactly—it was part of high-school biology classes decades ago. Still, very worth reminding people and bringing up when someone over-focuses on the bailey of “legible, calculated CICO” as opposed to the motte of “absorbed and actual CICO”.
I mean “mass and energy are conserved”—there’s no way to gain weight except if losses are smaller than gains. This is a basic truth, and an unassailable motte about how physics works. It’s completely irrelevant to the bailey of weight loss and calculating calories.

What do you mean by “absorbed and actual CICO”?
