Good post below by Coach Cliff Wilson...... While I think people are learning, there are still far too many people that view the metabolism as a static entity, disregarding metabolic adaptation entirely. A common view of the human body seems to be that it is almost like a bank where we deposit and withdraw calories. The typical “calories in vs. calories out” argument for fat loss and muscle growth is a perfect example of this view, explaining that we must expend more calories than we consume to lose weight and we must consume more calories than we expend to gain weight. The truth is that this is only part of the picture. The human body is less like a bank and more like the stock market. We can make deposits and withdrawals but the market is always fluctuating according to and reacting to what is put in and what comes out. Like the stock market, we have to consider the state of the market before we determine what we will put in and take out. Also like the stock market, where you invest is crucially important to the return that you get. An addition or reduction of kcals will yield drastically different returns depending on whether you adjust proteins, carbs, or fats. Once you learn that the metabolism is dynamic, and that it can be altered through macronutrient and caloric manipulation, you can begin creating a metabolic environment that will work to your advantage.
