One might think that weight loss is simply an energy balance issue. Sadly, it's far more complicated than that. You can burn 500-800 calories in an hour of cardio, and you can consume 500-800 calories of food in a few minutes.

If you are eating 2700kcal a day which is what an average male probably eats in West

Why would you eat 2700+800 = 3500kcal? when you can do with 2700kcal?
