Because they don't.

Sure, 1 calories is 1 calories....but you have to blatantly ignore how your body regulates fat, and the role insulin plays in order to believe that simply cutting calories is the only way to lose fat.


I guess it's simplistic but I've never had a BMI over 20 (I know BMI is inaccurate, doesn't take into account muscle mass blah blah), never had my body fat % over 10, it's about 8 right now. Maybe I just have freak genetics but I usually will just base what my calorie intake that day should be around how active I am going to be. I exercise 6 days a week for at least 30 minutes.
