Thanks yeah when he said calories dont matter it was hard for me not to laugh. I mean If you take in more calories than your body can burn you will momot lose weight.

Yes and no, moral of the story is that Cal's in and out do not mean as much on a Keto diet...
I am 2 weeks into to a 4k Cal challenge and have not gained weight. You are correct though, I have been unable most days to get up to 4k cals! Too rich.

Ok but, guess you are a special snowflake. Plenty of studies prove calories are what matter not matter what source. A calorie is a measurement of energy, bottom line is your body does realize the energy.

You are wrong and you can do a simple Google search and find dozens of studies proving so. And you say you are living proof, are you meticulously weighing your food every single meal and tracking raw? If not, you are not living proof. And if you are, what is your weekly calorie total vs tdee? How sure are you if your tdee?

Bottom line is you aren't special.

Calorie BS Harvard says Calories BS Calorie BS Body doesnt know what calorie is... Calorie Myth
LSU777, I'm usually a big fan of yours, but it seems like if somebody States something that you don't agree with they became a "special little snowflake".
To the other poster, you are correct your body does burn energy. But your metabolism could care less what your energy expenditure is, you need a balance in your hormonal state.
To the "a calorie is a calorie" crowd, science proves you wrong.

If you're into tracking macros it's probably the least important one to track

No I'm not being a dick just saying science says you are wrong. Everyone wants to think they are different and the rules don't apply to them, it's just not true. And I notice you didn't answer my questions.

And every thing you posted is nothing more than an article. You can't find a peer reviewed study to post because there are any yet there are dozens showing caloiries are what matter. Simple Google search will bring you that.

And you freaking linked Gary taubes, the biggest fraud in the industry. Please don't do that again .

Again go read John Bernardi, Martin Berkham, Alan argon, Eric helms, Greg nuckoles, lyle McDonald, Layne Norton. They have the studies on their sites.

Every single peer reviewed study has shown the following when it comes to body composition

Weekly overall calories and daily protien intake are what matter
The rest of the calories can come from anything else.
Keto and if can be advantageous for controlling caloric intake and tend to stimulate beta receptors in areas with low blood flow. Meaning fatloss could come from more stubborn fat areas compared to traditional cico.

Keto is great if you enjoy it. Keto is great for health. But keto doesn't allow you to eat as much as you want.

Watch this

LSU777, Sorry for not addressing your question:
When I weighed 380#s, my estimated TDEE was 3600kcal/day. For 2 months I participated in an ADA 1800 calorie diet, striclty managed, and managed to gain 2 lbs for the 2 months.
Fast forward to now @ 245# with a TDEE of 2900-3000 kcal/day and 2 weeks of 4k cals with 30/70 protein to fat carnivore and no weight gain. Prior to the 2 weeks, I usually eat 2500-3k Cals daily and am still losing weight with same macros for 18 months on Keto on a quicker than normal based on caloric deficit.
My 2 week TDEE Is 42000kcal and my cals in are 52500. By the laws of thermodynamics, there is no way they I haven't gained 2-3 lbs, yet I have maintained weight (actually down 0.5 lbs!).
You ARE correct about one thing: I AM NOT SPECIAL. If you fix someone's metabolism and hormones, this can happen to anyone.
Powerman is 100% correct- there are few ways to get within 10% of a true TDEE, but how do you explain gaining weight on 1800 Cals and losing weight on 2500+ cals no matter how far off my true TDEE is
Your understanding of nutrition is incorrect, you little cupcake. Let's get into a science and studies battle vs an opinion battle.
BTW, the source of the calories ARE the important part, you are dead wrong there. Your body does not know the difference between 500 cals of sugar and 500 cals of fat, the cals are meaningless, it's how the body uses that nutrition.
Also, don't misquote me, my argument was not that you can eat as many cals as desired, it was that this idea of Cal's in and out is misdated and inaccurate.

Biggest Loser Study
This is a link to an article, not the study, but the 6 year biggest loser study shows that participants gained weight back, not due to eating more, but due to impairing their metabolism and hormonal responses. TDEE is great, but your bodies energy expenditure is not based on calories, it's based on METABOLISM AND HORMONES.

You are going to say, this proves Cal in and Cal out, but it doesn't, you're still thinking too small. An obese person with metabolic syndrome might have a TDEE of 1500 cals a day and gain weight because they are eating 2000 cals a day, on paper that's 1lb a week. The problem isn't the calories, it's the metabolic response to the food.

I don't want to discount or dismiss your experience, because everyone's experience is their own.

Assuming what you're saying happened actually happened, then I would argue that you had some sort of condition, be it an illness, an allergy, a food intolerance, etc. That you didn't know about and your diet cleared it up.

In healthy adults, the latest scientific data shows that as long as protein and calories are equal, there is no significant fat loss difference between low carb and high carb.

ETA

If someone's hormones are out of whack, there should be blood tests to figure it out. I have Hashimotos, so my hormones are out of whack, which is why I see a dietitian. People with true metabolic issues are a minority.
