Did you catch my Beyond the Calorie story I did at Lift Lab ? I'll post the link in the comments of this post.

If calorie counting worked exactly the way we were taught, more people would keep the weight off.
The problem with calorie counting isn’t effort.
It’s oversimplification.
Two foods with the same calories on a label don’t always deliver the same calories to your body.
Why?
• Cooking changes calorie availability
• Digestion isn’t identical from person to person
• Stress and sleep affect absorption and regulation
So while calorie counting can be useful for awareness, it’s not an exact science—and it’s not required for progress.
You don’t need to micromanage numbers to get results.
You need a system that works with human biology, not against it.
