Most people don’t really control their weight by counting calories. They go by how they feel and our feelings,are heavily influenced by our biochemistry.

Yeah, and that's why they're overweight and that's why I said it takes planning and effort. Wanting to feel "full" is a big part of the problem. The easy food options are too calorie dense for that.

Weight is a pretty poor predictor of planning and effort.

The overwhelming evidence is that for some people it takes far more work to maintain a healthy weight than it does for others.
