Yes, but people confuse “counting calories isn’t a good strategy for losing weight” with “effective weight loss must occur by some mechanism that doesn’t involve changes in calorie intake and expenditure- such as metabolizing different foods at different efficiencies.”
I’m trying to clear up that confusion- calorie balance is critical to understand what’s going on physiologically when people lose weight, however it’s not very useful to track numerically when actually trying to lose weight.
