Sister reading: Too Much Food

Calories in, calories out

Every method that lasts reduces calories. Too Much Food says keto, paleo, vegan, GLP-1 shots, and surgery all work by eating less. CDC’s Steps for Losing Weight starts with a food diary of everything you consume. Log creamer, oil, smoothies, dressing. Apps: MyFitnessPal, Cronometer. TDEE is a concept — estimated energy used in a day — not a calorie number written for one person here.
