May I ask what the problem in the long term is, as long as the variables of the experiment is maintained? (ie. perfect calorie counting, macronutrient supplements and daily exercise)
I think this experiment lends credence to the "a calorie is a calorie" school of thought in nutrition - whether it's from a big mac or from a plain free-run, grain-fed chicken breast cooked without oil.
