Sorry but as someone who has maintained actual fuck you muscle for 2 decades now, quality calories (specifically protein and animal fat) will always outdo “quantity”
Just having muscle burns calories. The problem with people who only say "eat less calories than you burn" and stop there, is that there is you cannot tell someone how many calories they are burning during what activities and what time of day. There is no standard calculation for an individual, just averages and estimates for the whole population. Also over what period of time is it calculated? How much caloric store is already in the person's body? What is their metabolism like? This is all before getting into the quality of nutrients consumed that you all are talking about.
It's generally a good rule of thumb and starting point though.
You can tell when you're eating more calories than you burn, because you're gaining weight. If that is the case, reduce food intake. You don't need to know absolute amounts to have actionable information.
Yes that's what I mean by a good starting point. Then you tailor as you go based on that feedback, which will change as they lose weight or gain muscle. Some people will burn calories faster with certain types of exercise, or have an easier time dieting by eating certain kinds of foods. I find intermittent fasting to be helpful too, it sort of resets the metabolic clock.
Animal protein+ animal fat. There is a reason every genetic ethnicity is taller and stronger in America, and it’s entirely due to the abundance of animal protein and animal fat. In short, eat your fucking bacon.
Those are all buttfuckingly retarded.
Calories in < calories out. Walk frequently. Pick up heavy stuff. Wear comfortable shoes.
That is how you lose weight and stay in shape. What you eat matters way less than how much you eat and how you behave.

I was talking about weight loss. Protein definitely helps build muscle. Weight loss is about calories.
