Calories In vs Calories Out: The Debate Ends Here
Manage episode 485902418 series 3619127
In this video, I go head-to-head defending the calories in vs. calories out (CICO) model against Jay Feldman and the Energy Balance Podcast. While Jay claims the CICO model is a myth, I break down why energy balance still matters and why calories, despite their flaws, remain the backbone of weight management. I dive into how calories are measured, the real story behind bioavailability, and the tricky reality of tracking intake and expenditure.
We also cover metabolic efficiency and why popular claims about constrained energy expenditure often miss the point. I tackle the myths around hypothyroidism and metabolism to show why blaming your thyroid is not the get-out-of-jail-free card people think it is. If you are ready for a no-nonsense, evidence-backed defense of why calories still count, this video pulls no punches.
