But people have an extremely poor mental model of calories out.

In particular there is a great misunderstanding with respect to the role of exercise. It’s not the calories you burn during the period of exercise, rather it’s the changes to your body that exercise causes that encourage weight loss.

You don't need to have a good model of calories out. Just keep track of calories in and your weight over time, and reduce calories in until you're losing weight at an acceptable rate.
