115. Why don't people get this? "cals out" MEANS burning (= metabolism).

That is, metabolic differences, which are personal, is ACCOUNTED FOR by the (shorthand for some complicated formula) "cals in, cals out" tagline. The point of the phrase (unless I've radically misunderstood it) is that there's supposed to be a certain sort of equilibrium, or matching between the "cals in" (typically eating), and "cals out" (one factor of which is metabolic rate).

Has my understanding gone massivle awry somewhere? I suspect so, since it's unlikely that so many people are "wrong" on this, while I'm the only one that's "right"...
