It’s not just calories in calories out. 1 calorie is equal to 4.186 joules There are trillions of joules of energy holding atomic structures together in the food you eat. The calories you gain are the ones that your body can extract through digestion

Not all digestive systems are exactly equal. Therefore some people will extract more calories than others from the same food

It still is you just need to measure CO2 released using complicated machines but it’s 100% accurate to your calorie expenditure Obv nobody has access to that tho but if u do u know what to do

That’s interesting, why is that the case? Are there any specific gene pools/groups of people that have been found to genetically absorb more?

Would be a an insightful study for sure, like perhaps races in colder climates were genetically adapted to glean more from their food since life was not as viable in cold climates and they likely would not eat as often
