Simplistic, but close.

The only thing
complicating this simple concept is peoples unreasonable adherence to
the calories fallacy. The calories math doesn't, hasn't and will never
be a valid predictor of weight loss or gain in humans.

See, M_indless, he's right and you're not. But it is impressive seeing
you use a word with more than 2 syllables.

Just because there may be the equivalent of 4 calories in a gram of
food, it doesn't mean that all that energy is available to us through
digestion and metabolism. Caloric intake versus caloric use will
always be a sketchy relationship. Humans aren't bomb calorimeters and
humans aren't perfect, closed systems.
