> 4.3 to 13.3 kg

That’s not a vast range? It means some people gain more than they „should“, and some less than half of the caloric intake.

It’s also not „my“ arithmetic btw.

Apologies. Though my statement holds with s/Your/That/.

My original response was to a comment suggesting that overweight and obese people get home and eat 15 chocolate bars. My observation, supported by your additional evidence, is that a small imbalance has a substantial cumulative effect.
