Ok...Forget M1T

what you are stating is called an anecdote. Its where one guy sees one thing and then comes to a conclution about it. The problem is that he forgets all of the details of what he saw and only remebers the parts that support the conclution

Here is fact. If you eat 1000 cal and burn 1200, you will lose weight. End of story.
a calorie is not a calorie? what are you talking about? A calorie is the amount of energy required to raise 1 gram of water one degree celcius. there is no interpretation there.

No, not really. I am HEAVILY involved in the training of bodybuilders and athletes. I not only remember details, but record everything meticulously. My "conclusions" are based on dozens of cases, not one isolated incident.

Hmmm, really. There are THOUSANDS of people out there that eat maybe one meal per day and then perform normal (or more) activity for the day and still maintain their weight.

A calorie is not a calorie in the sense that 1 calorie from protein causes are much different chain of events in the body than a calorie from protein. Feed someone 1000 calories from carbs vs 1000 calories from protein and the results will be entirely different.

what you need is a physics course. conservation of energy...look it up....
Unless these people are eating ton of food at that one sitting they WILL NOT maintain their weight over any meaningfull period of time. You can eat 3000 calories easily in one meal if your hungry.

LOL. You better have a talk with the hundreds of thousands of people out there struggling to lose weight and perhaps the entire fitness industry.

If it were as simple as you make it sound, there would be FAR many less fat people in this world. Have you ever considered writing a book?

I'm guessing that your opinion on many of the overweight people you see in the gym is that they are not working hard enough or are sneaking food that the claim they are not eating.

Oh well...I just hope you are not a trainer or anything. I'm running back to college now to take a course in physics...you have convinced me with your omnipotence!

People who cant lose weight need to eat less and excersize more. Its a fact. Calories dont come from nowhere. either you burn them or or you eat them but that is it. SIMPLE. No it wont sell alot of books, but since when was popularity the same as factuality?? No one wants to hear that they are not eating what they should, and they certialy wont pay me to tell them to stop eating so much, but nevertheless its the truth.

Unless you want to give some sort of logic for your idea that someone can eat undermaintinance and not lose weight im am leaving this argument. There is none.

I know it seems impossible to you, but it happens everyday. There are tons of people that eat next to nothing and do NOT lose weight. Oh well, onto bigger and better things...
