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.
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.
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.
It still doesn’t stop the overall fact that every human ethnicity has been taller, stronger, and more intelligent off an animal fat and protein diet. Animal fat has a higher nutrient density than any other food source, and has been proven repeatedly. Lactose tolerance has also followed this trend.

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