Calories in vs. calories out is definitely not the most important factor as different foods provide different "types" of calories. 2000 calories of refined sugar and omega-6 fatty acids =/= 2000 calories of a well-balanced diet. The physiological fates of the foods we eat are the most important factors.

realistically most people won't eat just 2000 calories of refined sugar as their only meal though.

some will eat "clean" and have more balanced diet and some will eat more junk fast food. but in general, at the end of the day calories in vs calories out should be the most important factor in losing weight because most people will eat a combination of protein, carb, and fat.

to a certain extent and this does not apply to everyone. I'm convinced there are people who's body handles fruity pebbles the same way it would brown rice and asparagus.

I believe macro based diets (while keeping sugars in check) are the best way to achieve your physique goals. I think they get a bad rap because of limited info people put out on social media. You have to eat clean nearly every meal to maintain a good macro balance. Some idiot sees some fitness guru on facebook eating pizza and ice cream and believes he can get shredded eating shite like that all the time.
