CICO is fake.
I used to eat two meals a day, maximum, with nothing but coffee in between. I weighed 67 kg. December 2024.
Since Dec 25 (past month) I've eaten the same diet, two meals, except I also make a 900 kcal shake in the morning (oats, pb, olive oil, banana, honey and milk) and 800 kcal salmon/avocado toast sandwich at night
I've eaten 3000 kcal every day. On top of it, I've also exercised 3 times a week, but this is more about the weight gain
Since the past month, I've gained 0kg and I'm still 67kg.

I do not feel bloated or anything adding the extra meals. It's almost like I didn't even eat anything. It takes minimal space in my stomach, so I assume maybe it just passes without much uptake. I don't know. The late night sandwich is so delicious, it's better than candy.

Either way, I eat healthy, 3000 kcal, and I've gained nothing in the past month (fact). I've counted my macros.
>>
You eat a salmon sandwich at night?
>>
Also, did you exercise from December 2024 to December 2025? I bet the answer is no.
>>
>>75736375
Yes, maybe 2 hours before sleep. 2 levain fried in butter, mayo, onion, salmon, creme fraiche, egg, sometimes avocado
>>75736380
I said one month with 0 gain, not year. I thought "CICO".
>>
CICO is a concept of thermodynamics. Energy cannot be created out of nothing. What happened was your energy use went up and your NEAT went up so your TDEE went up. What exactly is the exercise that you are doing?
>>
>>75736392
Personally, I was suspecting perhaps more energy goes through waste, but my stool are healthier than they've ever been, so that can't be it either, assuming this is something that can happen (literally shitting high kcal stool)
>What exactly is the exercise that you are doing?
The usual PPL. I don't even exercise as much as I used to in the past. Yesterday, I went to do some back, didn't even do rows, and some biceps.
I'm not following a religious workout schedule but I do exercise. I warmed up on the treadmill 5 minutes.

The thing is, I went from eating 1200 kcal at best. Maybe 1500 if I snacked on something unhealthy like chips. I would drink 18 shots of espresso a day, to the point of suffering from hair loss, and both my meals were usually takeout but not always.

I went from that, to counting macros and eating very healthy. I cook and meal prep. I make savory meals with lots of ingredients. I eat two meals a day, still one takeout but the other always home cooked, and I supplement with the high kcal shake and the sandwich.
So from unhealthy 1200 kcal (9-10 takeout a week, snacks at home) to 3000 kcal (3-4 takeout a week, nutritional snacks at home)

I've done this for one month. The exercise is a side thing, I only wanted to gain some of the weight I lost back, but I do exercise 3 times a week, cranking out some reps. 1 month of diet change = 0 kg weight increase.
>>
>>75736409
>1 month of diet change = 0 kg weight increase.
Objective fact, btw. I do feel like I have more energy. I have restless legs and like I just want to go for a run. But I am not gaining any weight
>>
>>75736409
You're being very vague.

>Exercise
What exactly is the layout of your program? Are you making progress?

>Guesstimating takeout calories
Did you actually have an idea or are you pulling numbers out of your ass?

>>75736416
This suggests higher NEAT for sure.

There are other factors like energy availability of food. If you went from eating highly processed garbage to mostly healthy food, the energy is not as available to your body. If you're eating a lot more protein than usual, then you're actually gaining less calories than you think you are due to the energy required to break it down and make it usable compared to carbs and fats.

TL;DR - eat more
>>
>>75736435
Correction, this concept is called Thermic Effect of Food. Couldn't recall it off the top of my head
>>
>>75736366
based on your incoherent writing and the fact that you weigh 67kg as an adult. im going to take a wild guess that the answer is youre retarded.
dont know how to count calories, cant stay consistent, overestimate how much you eat, eat one handful of chips and think "omg ive eaten so much today" when in reality it totaled 2000kcal.
>>
CICOtroons always have a meltdown when you point out the flaws in their pseudoscience.

I've done CICO, Keto, fasting, tried vegan, the whole lot. One thing is very clear; HORMONES matter above all else. Insulin levels. CICO doesn't account for hormones whatsoever, so it is completely flawed and COMPLETELY OBSOLETE.
>>
>>75736392
>muh fermudinamics
First law of thermodynamic is Delta U=Q-W, and it specifically refers to an enclosed thermodynamic system, which humans are not.
>We eat food, MASS, where is mass in that equation you mong?
>How does that mass get converted into heat (calories) by a human?
because we don't, any heat residual from chem interactions is heat lost to entropy, an animal does NOT generate heat for the sale of it in any way.
>inb4 muh atp
not free energy, atp is still a molecule, still mass the process of digesting food is to break down mass into constitual components to use them in whichever way your genes "decide" at any given time, atp production being a fraction of it.
And yes atp is used in a way to be broken down to release energy but that's yet another biochemical process, it's matter interaction so calories "in" will NEVER translate to a set amount of atp.
CICO is fucking bs any way you look at it, so much so that it's better, easier to track and note progress and issues and tinker your intake of food just by tracking mass in, especially considering that companies are allowed a +/- 20% error in stating caloric content, and that calories "out" is next to impossible to calculate as it would include waste, breathing, basal metabolic rate etc.
>>75736366
If you really want to track things down, eat the same meals every day for a month and write down the weight, track your workout progress, and use a mirror and a scale, note how the food makes you perform and feel and then tinker with food quality and quantity.
This is an actual (quasi)scientific approach and will lead to results.
CICO is retarded and a reddit tier attempt to make sense of the old "move more eat less", which doesn't necessarily work 100%, so what happened is fags made other shit up in order to make it work instead of going "huh that actually doesn't work that well".

>>75736487
You don't need to account for anything. If you're taking in less energy than you're using, you will lose weight. If you're taking in more energy than you're using, you will gain weight. What do hormones have to do with it?
>>
>>75736563
People will worship CICO because of the convenience. Reducing the entirety of the complexity of the human metabolism down to a simple math equation saves so much grief. Unfortunately, it's just completely wrong.

>>75736570
>What do hormones have to do with it?
Insulin will prevent your body from being able to access fat reserves for energy. With elevated insulin, if you're not taking in enough energy in the form of glucose, your metabolism will slow to account for this, and you'll possibly even break down muscle mass in order to obtain glucose.

This is why only eating 1000 calories of carb-heavy foods in a day makes you feel tired, irritable and low in energy, but eating only 1000 calories of fat+protein makes you feel fine, or even energetic. Again, speaking from experience.
>>
>insulin prevents me from going outside and walking and maybe even lifting weights
does it also prevent you from thinking? fucking retarded nigger
>>
>>75736638
No, it PHYSIOLOGICALLY prevents your body from converting fat into energy. with elevated insulin even if you engage in exercise you won't be able to burn fat.

>What exactly is the layout of your program? Are you making progress?
PPL brother. I do not take exercise seriously, again, I am using CICO to GAIN WEIGHT, not necessarily to body build, just gain some weight.
Program is monday tuesday wednesday, PPL, where I do dumbbell press, shoulder press and triceps pulldowns for push, rows, lats (dumbbell rows or lat pulldowns) and biceps for pull, and bulgarian, leg extensions, hamstring curls and calfs for legs
I don't overdo it but I do get exercise in. 3x8 sets. Normal.

>Guesstimating takeout calories
I underestimate them. I had ramen yesterday, for example, which I count as 500-600 kcal (it is around that range)

>If you're eating a lot more protein than usual
I eat 1,6-2,2g/kg muscle mass in protein. I eat a lot of fat because I want to gain weight. So it includes avocado, coconut oil in shakes, etc

>TL;DR - eat more
I could eat 10000 kcal anon. Problem is I thought it was CICO. I went from 1200 to 2,5x that, and I've gained nothing in a month. CICO is clearly a simplification? Otherwise I would've gained weight.
>>
>>75736495
You write like a woman and think like one.

I've lost 14kg comfortably over 1 year just by tracking what i eat and substracting what my fitness band shows I've spent on workouts (+maintenance). It's consistent with what I'd expect and even OPs image - my deficit was about 500 kcal which would mean I'd lose up to 52 lbs or 23 kg per year. The discrepancy is because OP picture is also averaged out for the median burger fatso while i wasn't even overweight by bmi at the start of the diet.

CICO niggers must die. Best diet is a clean one (no processed slop, meat based with pasture raised eggs, raw dairy and organic fruits and maybe some vegetables) and if you want to lose weight you just eat a bit less and exercise a little bit more each day. 2 meals a day and keep it simple so you know you're eating less without measuring a damn thing.

Exactly.

>what is water weight?
>what is bone density?
>what is muscle mass?

CICOtrannies want us to believe that all "weight loss" is mostly body fat no matter what you're eating.
It's all a big cope to tell themselves it's okay to eat grains and trash foods as long as you count calories.
Only works for roidtrannies because, surprise surprise... they're injecting HORMONES that will give them the desired results.
People who eat grains will end up with a skinnyfat, pot-bellied Indian janitor body type.

The human body is far too complex to reduce everything to calorie counting.
If you want to "lose weight" count calories. If you want to get lean and ripped, ditch the grains and eat animal protein.
>>
>>75736776
>I've lost 14kg comfortably over 1 year
Lmao. As if this shit was some grand achievement. An entire year weighing every single thing you put in your mouth and only lost that much weight?
Many people lose this amount of weight in one or two months by just ditching the carbs and switching to a meat only diet.

Okey so first of all, gaining non-lean bodymass is retarded.

That being said CICO does not work well for mass gain. The body is very inefficient in converting glycogen and protein into fats (De novo lipogenesis is 5-10% efficient).

If you want to gain fat instead of lean bodymass you just gotta make sure you follow these simple steps:

>eat frequent insulin spiking meals to turn off fat oxidation
>eat a surplus from sources that do not use DNL as primary fat storage pathway. So eat a lot of fat, sucrose, fructose.
>If you want to increase your appetite completely remove starch from diet, as all forms of pure glucose spike leptin hormone. So favour high corn syrup as ingredient.

CICO is just more complicated than people think
First of all nobody is actually tracking calories accurately
Second of all not all calories are in fact the same due to the thermic effect of food and other complicated factors
Third of all your body is constantly changing and just because you take in the same amount every day doesn't mean the same amount is always being used for the same things

You just don't understand and it's ok. Yes, If you add 500 kcal to typical complex diet that is fat, carbs and protein people most likely gain same amount of fat not matter the source because your body has options when it comes to availability of fat storing mechanics and pathways.

I have said fuck all about shit like that what are you talking about? Yeah of course its easier to eat fat than carbs.

Heres what you are not able to understand

Two persons with 2500 TDEE consume 3500kcal from one source during 24 hour period as their only caloric intake.

>Person A drinks olive oil
>Person B eats white rice

Person A gains significantly more body fat because its easier to store lipids than it is to make lipids from equal amount of calories. De novo lipogenesis is actually so fucking inefficient person A gains like 10x more body fat.
>>
>>75737126
I mean I don't care about what method works for what reasons, I'm not writing a PhD on medical science. It's just that CICO offers the only reasonable algorithm to lose weight, adjustable to my parameters and my data. And if someone can't figure out error calculations or estimating error tolerance that's not a flaw of cico.

Btw losing around 15% of my bodyweight was so retardedly easy even a toddler could figure it out, cut alcohol softdrinks and sweets and that's already -250 kcal. Add some regular walking and that's it.

Only for gaining weight. For losing weight in the long term, it does work - if you don't care where that weight loss comes from and are fine with losing muscle and bone density.
What CICO fetishists ignore are hormonal influences. If you don't have enough insulin, for example, carbs aren't going to be available. If youdon't have enough testosterone, no amount of protein will make you gain muscle.
However, if you're starving yourself, at some point your body will take whatever is available to keep you alive. Sure, you'll already be in a permanent state of hypothermia by then, and won't be able to move without feeling like you're collapsing. But I guess if you're 200+ kg, it might be worth it. (And yes, that's sarcasm...)

CICO works, but you morons always acts like it's some kind of exact methodology carved in stone. It's not, precisely because of all the 9000 little variables everyone in these threads claim against it. Thermic effect, hormone balance, how hard it is to track calories properly, what even is a calorie anyway? Fuck it, none of that matters. That's looking at grams when you need to move kilograms.
>want to lose weight? Eat less, move more
>want to gain weight? Eat more, move less
So you're not gaining the weight like you wanted? Eat even more, dumbass. I'd say move less, but I'm guessing you're some anorexic failure of a human so you probably need the exercise.

OP here. Everyone is being retarded about the details. I was never talking about 2840 kcal to 3000 kcal. I talked about 1200-1500 kcal (unhealthy) to 3000 kcal (healthy). Obviously it's a nuanced topic, but this big change should give you an effect in days, if CICO were true.
>>
>>75737441
No it wouldn't. It's demonstrated that your body can only soak up about 1200 extra calories in a day, and you were grossly undereating to start. You might gain a couple of pounds in a month with that change, tops, or you might burn the difference in being more active because you suddenly feel better on a better diet.

I just realized I hadn't calibrated my scale and that it was -3kg and I see now that I have gained 3kg in the past month

Presuming a TDEE of about 2400 and taking your numbers at face value (making a LOT of assumptions there) that's, let's say, 30x600=18000 extra calories for the month. 7000 calories per kilogram into 18000 is roughly a 2.5kg gain, sure. CICO wins again.

I appreciate you coming back to report your error rather than just closing the thread.

I'm just seeking the truth. I have no dog in this except my own weight. Thank you for confirming with the math.

The fun thing about this whole escapade is that it should help put in perspective just how much of a lifestyle being over/underweight is. It takes TIME to move the needle on that scale.

But this is not true. I was under the impression that it was, until something hit me. I don't remember what it was. I believe it was seeing how easy it was to make a high kcal shake on Youtube.Then I was inspired by another recipe to make a high kcal sandwich, and now I've done nothing else but make the shake in the morning and the sandwich at night. And when I cook at home, I make 3-4 portions, so I have meal prep for the rest of the week. I've changed nothing, except the shake and the sandwich, and I'm gaining weight fast.

The desire for coffee has gone away. I have the shake in the morning and I'm full until lunch. Then I have takeout lunch. Coffee after. Dinner already prepared at home and then the sandwich at night.

I feel 100 times better, I used to have telogen effluvium from stress but even that is getting better. I'm just getting better and it's insane.

Recipe for the sandwich isn't hard either: fry bread in butter, mayo + creme fraiche spread, onion, salmon, egg and sometimes avocado. 700 kcal and it tastes incredible. Doesn't even take up space in your stomach. Gargle olive oil for another 200 kcal if you need, etc. It honestly is not hard.

I think losing weight might be harder, but just drink coffee and honestly that's even easier. Less time consuming too

>CICO works
It never did. It's late 1800s pseudo science. You fell for another meme because you are FUCKING RETARDED.

Why the fuck would you believe that
>Stuff that burns the hottest makes me fat the most
?

WHY.
>>
>>75736778
the latest trend in nutrition is pointing out how the average westerner's metabolism has been completely ravaged so CICO has become increasingly irrelevant over the decades
>>
>>75737577
Please show me one instance in any metabolic ward study where somebody has eaten less calories than their basal metabolic rate and gained weight.

I don't care. You've made a claim that CICO is pseudoscience and has never worked. And if it is, and it hasnt, then it should be totally possible and normal and we'd see it in real life that people eat less calories than they burn and gain weight

Common misconception. The nutrition label actually accounts for this.
