I think I realized two things a while ago:

1. calories in / calories out is true when calories are around what you need or below. If you go above, a lot it the excess calories will, for many of us, just leave unused.

2. Many people consume a lot morr calories than they think, but because of 1. it can hide itself.

When some of them cut a lot of calories (not count exactly how many they eat in total, but just cut the sugar Cola and the extra chocolate) they might still be above 0 because of the big breakfast, big lunch and too big dinner.

Yeah this is why competitive eaters such as Matt Stonie stay lean while eating 20,000+ calories. His body will waste most of that, and he'll spend the rest of the week exercising and eating healthy.
