CICO is still true. While some foods can increase metabolism (the other reply suggested up to 10% - sounds reasonable to me), that is an increase in calories out. You can also increase metabolism by exercising, or some drugs.

What exactly does food have to do with CICO?

You're certainly not going to get very far at ejecting the earth's crust by burning food...

There's no reason why certain physically and calorifically dense foods (eg. Christmas pudding) couldn't necessarily be combined with oxidizers and fitted into solid rocket motors, which could then be used to launch significant chunks of the earth's crust out of its gravity well.

That’s not why I nicknamed my chili recipe Red Mercury.
