A comment on Energy Compensation and Adiposity in Humans. Parent comment
For what it's worth...
Part of my original comment is based on the fact that I have been _carefully_ monitoring my food intake AND activity for the past 18 months.
I will tell you over that period, I wake up and weigh myself. Each morning, my scale says that I weigh between 166.6 and 168.0--without fail.
I measure my food with a scale, but I will _also_ tell you that my caloric intake varies between 1800 and 2600 calories per day.
My activity varies as well (I won't go into details).
But my weight is PINNED to 167 pounds. Day after day after day.
To me, this information just screams that my body is modulating its caloric intake based on what I eat and how active I am.
Now, I know, this is "anecdata." But I can't be the only person who has observed this.
