I should say I didn't see that coming, but that does not change my point as when I said 1%, I assumed that was the lowest it could get. If what you're saying is right then I stand corrected, but I'd still like to know where are you getting your statistics from. Regardless, even that less of number should still make the difference while you're dealing with people for what I said though.

"calories in calories out" is correct as energy is conserved. But, as we're talking about energy now, we know that an efficiency of a 100% is practically impossible. The body needs effective energy to function properly, but the energy in does not equal the effective energy out; one is constantly losing some of this energy as heat, and the rest is latent energy as fats. Now how efficient, or more precisely, how much of the food you take is actually used up for effective energy is what's important. In cases where your body is very inefficient (probably because of a disease), it could become inevitable not to gain lots of fat.

but it is just physically not possible to not be fat without eating

I am not sure you mean what the text suggests you mean here. Please try not to use lots of negatives.

You don't see starving fat people in poor 3rd world countries.

Of course you don't. Because anyone would prefer being fat full over being thin hungry.

This whole thing is making me sound awfully defensive. I am only referring to those who are very sick in regards of the matter.
