Yeah, the key word there is "calories out" -- as in, not all calories get absorbed equally well by the body, so some get excreted. "Calories out" does not just mean burning them with metabolism and exercise. "Eat less and exercise more" is a gross oversimplification.

Less efficient calorie conversion means you'd lose weight even easier . . .

Right: skinny people might have less efficient calorie conversion than fat ones.

. . . . but 99% of the time they just eat less
