Weight loss requires an energy deficit, but calories alone do not explain appetite, metabolism, food environment, hormones, lean mass, sleep, medications, or long-term maintenance.

Ultra-processed food debates are usually too crude. The useful question is which mechanisms drive harm: energy density, eating rate, texture, fiber, protein dilution, palatability, additives, food matrix, or processing itself. Protein can be protective, but protein-branded products can still be ultra-processed.
