That is correct. I am happy to fill that knowledge gap, though, if you have any links handy.

> studies in which the number of calories a person consumes are tracked by the researchers leave no ambiguity in the direct relationship between the number of calories a person consumes and how their weight changes

Can you point me to those?

I don't really keep a list of the studies I read, but Examine.com is a great resource for people without the scientific background and training in reading the research literature.

These two links are great starting points, and link to the studies if you feel like reading them:
