That's part of the "calories out" side of the equation, that few people put in the effort to find (if they even know how). And I've found online estimators aren't very useful here, you need to find it for yourself - they say mine is around 1600 when it's actually more like 2200.

Ignoring half of CICO just because people only like talking about CI doesn't make it false.

It's even harder to change CO than CI, that's why people talk about CI. You lose a bit over 100 calories per mile run, and then you have to not compensate by eating them when you're finished. Everyone has a different metabolic set point for how many calories they burn, true.

No one said not eating is easy, especially when there's a lot of food around! I struggle with it. The laws of physics are not kind.

What I will say though, is if I exercise moderate amounts, it makes appetite control easier, at least for me. YMMV. I believe this is because insulin is more level throughout the day.
