I have slowly gained 30kgs over 20 years. That's 1.5kg a year, or about 4g per day.
4g per day is almost insignificant amount and yet it is enough to make you fat over long periods of time.
I challenge anybody to accurately measure their daily calories intage to within 4g of a target (forgetting for a moment that the target can't be measured accurately either).
This suggests that while I was technically overeating -- by just couple of grams per day -- the problem lies entirely somewhere else -- in our ability to self regulate.
