If you let your car idle in the driveway all day, it’ll go through half a tank of gas without moving a mile

Just want to point out that while an activity may consume an estimated amount of calories, the real calories required to do the activity, plus repair and recover from depleted stores of different biochemistries is never accounted for but necessarily required.

Take for example, running a marathon. It might say… burn 3kcal on paper. But the subsequent rebuilding and repair of damaged tissue is gonna to use wayyyy more than that.

you can. Eat celery. Not with ranch not with peanut butter…just celery. It actually has negative calories so to say because it costs your body more than it offers

To add on to what others have said already, putting on muscle at the gym is a long term investment for weight loss as muscles are greedy af when it comes to calories. The more muscle you have, the higher your baseline metabolism is.

Makes me think less of how hard it is to stay thin and more how incredibly efficient our bodies are when exercising.
