First of all I know CICO is valid. Obviously the science is there. However, I also don’t believe it’s always that simple because we’re all very different and have different TDEE and ways our bodies respond to calorie restriction even with same height and weight. (This is mostly applicable to rate of weight loss)
What I will say is people do CICO and forgot to track their BLTs ie Bite Licks and Tastes. Even I have been guilty of this in the past.
Every time you go into the kitchen you take a lick of that ice cream. You don’t track it because you figure one lick is harmless right. 6 licks becomes 1 whole scoop which you didn’t track which quickly becomes 200 calories. Similarly ‘tasting’ when you’re cooking can add lots of calories without realizing.
So if you have a “standard metabolism” and CICO isn’t working for you make sure you’re tracking absolutely everything unless it’s like cucumbers or actually 0 calories. Might make all the difference.
What I like to do is add 100 calories at the end of each day to account for any thing I might have missed.
