Reply to comment by Oaden in ELI5 - When losing weight, why is it common to hear "burn more than you consume" in reference to calorie intake. if you consume" 1000 calories, how do you burn 1500? by Freedom-No-781

When I look at nutrition labels, I'm never sure whether to be amazed at how many calories are in our food, or impressed with how efficiently our bodies use calories.

I was for all of high school. I could shove a ton of food into my face and never gain any weight.

Then I got to college and it all changed. And before you ask, it was the buffet style dining hand and not beer. Didn't drink until I was 30 but put on plenty of weight.
