What has more calories?
2,000 calories worth of bread or 2,000 calories worth of steak?
This is not some sort of a trick question.
The bread has more calories than the steak has because the bread is less thermogenic than the steak.
Carbohydrates have a 5-15% thermic effect

Carbohydrates have a 5-15% thermic effect
and protein has a 20-35% thermic effect (fats have a 3-15% thermic effect).
So if X amount of calories come from carbohydrates, this means that 5-15% of them is going to be released as heat during digestion, a 20-35% when it comes to protein and a 3-15%when it comes to fat.

There is no equality when it comes to food.
Carbs are not equal to protein or fats and vice versa obviously.
Not only that but carbohydrates are not equal to each other, proteins are not equal to each other and fats are not equal to each other.

The calories that come from one food are very different from the calories that come from any other food.
Nothing is equal.
Bread is not equal to fruit, whey protein is not equal to steak and sunflower oil is not equal to extra virgin olive oil.

Using a calorie meter to determine the response that your body will have to a food is wrong because it ignores the enzymatic breakdown of the food.
If for example you are consuming right now letβs say 2.000 worth of calories coming from sources such as whey protein, sunflower

oil, iron fortified bread and so on and you are able to maintain your bodyweight with no significant changes, then if you switch to meat, fruit and coconut oil for the same amount of calories, you will get leaner by default.
Once more, calories do not show you the full picture.

Your daily energy expenditure consists of your basal metabolic rate, the energy cost of physical activity and diet-induced thermogenesis.

Nothing is equal and the breakdown of every food is vastly different.
Your daily energy expenditure is anywhere from 5% all the way to even 25%(*) dependent on your diet.
(*)To be fair, most trusted studies point up to 15% and not 25%. But still 10% is a BIG number.

That's it. End of rant. RT if you liked.
