    Calories out just need to exceed calories in. Diets help do that easier but it’s all the same principle

      Yeah, I just mean it’s easier to manipulate the intake side of the equation. Burning a couple hundred calories is a lot of work; choosing not to drink a soda is easy.

      It’s important to note that “maintenance calories” are the vast majority of the energy you use on a daily basis. Exercise is just a small portion of the calories you burn.
