> Yes, it is, and the reason people fail with it is not because calorie counting doesn't work, but because people's maintenance calorie estimates are often poor.

I would have thought that it would mostly be because they can't resist that extra snack.

Or 'optimistically' underestimate the calories in the not pre-packaged food.

Serious question: Is there a significant variability in how the food calories are absorbed? Maybe different combinations are not absorbed equally efficiently (like with water/oil-based vitamins)
