The CICO model isn't helpful to most people.
I strongly think we need to stop telling people about CICO. It's a thermodynamic model, not a clinical model.
It's much better to use the insulin obesity model, it's a clinical model - https://hackertalks.com/post/7617450
Basically we are not Bomb Calorimeters. You can eat uranium with billions of calories and not gain weight. We are hormonal machines, which have amazing homeostasis feedback already built it, we have to eat appropriately so those systems actually work.
An illustrative example: if you want to lose 1lbs in a month you have to eat 30 calories less per meal. Nobody is going to measure their calories that accurately, not to mention food labels can be 25% off the exact amount.. which means every meal you are eating +-208 calories.. (on a 2500kcal day diet).
