A calorie is not a calorie, because it takes more energy to digest proteins, than it does carbs 1.129.97.99 (talk) 14:14, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
Although this is true for the raw calorimetric data, the calories on food labels are adjusted for this effect.[1] JDowning (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:44, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

So it's obvious that this article relates to nutrition and healthy eating, but the food pyramid image included seems out of place. At the very least, it doesn't belong in the header, but to me it doesn't even seem to fit well into the article at all since the food pyramid and other weight-loss stratagems are not mentioned once in the text. 2601:281:C400:FC7D:4C32:745F:D22C:2146 (talk) 22:54, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
I agree. It doesn't serve any clear purpose and is presented without comment. To my eye it looks like it's trying to be persuasive, which is not the job of the encyclopedia. --108.24.91.71 (talk) 04:29, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
CICO is redirecting here but this page doesn't seem to convey what CICO usually stands for, which is, a weight loss method that consists of eating less calories than you burn, eating calories depending the body's TDEE. It seems like CICO could use its own page, I wanted to get some thoughts on this topic before starting a new page for CICO. Some of the headings/information would include CICO, Benefits, Calculating CICO Diet, Disadvantages, Results, etc. Let me how this sounds. Dailywriter007 (talk) 00:23, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
