500 calories is a pretty big workout, but its at the opposite ends of the curve, most people will be around 250 calories of the middle.

Most people will be around 250 calories of the middle? What do you mean by this? You are talking about a difference between caloric intake between multiple people right?

Saying its easy for people to just switch track on that is frankly an awful take, the current weight loss drugs work for a reason, while you carry on taking them.

Did you reply to the right comment? I never said anything like this.

    Multiple people of similar height, weight, fitness levels yes. There can be a measurable difference and it can easily be as much as a medium to heavy workout, for the average to extreme ends of the scale.

    Obviously someone who eats heathly, has a high percentage of muscle, exercises multiple times a week, will clearly burn even more calories than the same person who does none of that. What I am referring to is people who are close enough in these attributes and there still is a significant genetic difference.

    This is very much genetics having an impact. It doesnt even cover the genetic difference between hunger sensitivity issues for things like insulin or GLP-1, which can massively impact dieting success.

    I am not saying that environmental factors such as a life long poor diet and lack of exercise dont make this worse on top, but that genetics is a significant factor.

    Second part is piggy backing, so apologies if it appears aimed at you.
