On an absolute basal level it's not incorrect but it's an extreme over simplification.

A calorie isn't always a calorie, nutrient partitioning and hormone levels play way more in weight loss. The bigger question being what is your energy out, how do you calculate it, and how much energy do you actually get some certain foods.

>The point of your diet (i.e. Keto or others) should be to make keeping your intake lower than your output near effortless.

Key word being, should. Most "diets" work on counting calories or restricting intake, the ones that work better are about reducing appetite.

The best book I've read about general nutrition information is The Poor Misunderstood Calorie

In short, yes, you can definitely do it on a keto diet. Total protein intake and nutrient timing are two important factors; there are a few chapters in “The poor, misunderstood calorie” dedicated to the topic.

Gram for gram, krill oil is apparently superior to fish oil , but it’s proportionally more expensive… might be more economically efficient to just take a higher dose of fish oil. The higher antioxidant content of krill oil might not be that important because oxidized fish oil doesn’t seem to be bad for you. Personally, I’d just eat more salmon. Not sure why, but fish oils from fatty fish seem to be better (gram from gram) than those from supplements.

No, it shouldn't IMHO... i did lose 15kg without starving myself.

I'm just responding to your statement that type of food is irrelevant. You can understand that there will be a different effect from eating sugar vs a normal meal, you need to extent that logic and realise that there is also a huge difference between the response of eating the same calorific value of fat vs carbs.

Fat deposition is highly dependent on the macro-nutrients in the food people to eat. Gaining weight is almost always a result of poor food choices as opposed to overeating. A calorie is not always a calorie.
