You don't go to In-N-Out because its "that good", you go when you don't want to spend $10 on the good burger at Five Guys, but you also don't want to buy a burger from McDonalds either.

Well not really because not all calories have the same effect on your body.

I remember reading some study where they controlled what the participants ate for breakfast and lunch and then in the afternoon the participants got something like a 400 calorie snack.

Some got 400 calories from a sugary drink. Some from yogurt, some from a piece of steak etc.

Then they let them all self serve how ever much dinner they wanted of spaghetti or something.

The ones consuming the steak reduced their dinner consumption by almost 400 calories compared to the ones drinking sugar. The yogurt was in between.

So drinking sugar does nothing to keep you from being hungry later, duh. But eating steak did.

But that's the point.

Calories in aren't the all same. That's why high protein diets work to lose weight...

And 400 calories of steak is a fairly small/quick package...

So being high calorie quick to eat isn't really the issue.

For one thing, calories in/calories out is simply tracking the amount of calories you’re taking in as opposed to the amount of calories you’re burning. You could lose weight on a diet consisting solely of donuts.

The rest of your post just basically reiterates my second paragraph. You’re not likely to lose weight while eating trash processed foods, which is where most people struggle, because they’re full of calories and not as filling.

I hate breakfast too and especially hate eggs.

I'll have an English muffin occasionally, maybe a Post Great Grains Banana Nut Crunch cereal or a rare BLT sandwich but the ONLY time I like breakfast is when I go on vacation.

Then the breakfast buffet at the hotel is good and I can relax. Pancakes with Banana and Walnuts inside are my go to with a side of sausage links, extra crispy hash browns, plate of tropical fruit, decaf coffee and freshly squeezed OJ.

Funny story: I'm on a road trip and my wife was going to take me to Five Guys for my birthday lunch. However, there was some unexpected thing at the restaurant that shut it down. So I never got it.

Fast forward a few days and she said that she would make it up by taking me to In and Out since we'd never been there. So I was willing to spend the $10 on the good burger at Five Guys, but was burger-blocked.

We were both trying to figure out the fries. Were they old, or were they not cooked properly, or were they really supposed to be kind of limp and soft? We decided that they were really supposed to be limp and soft, and that didn't work for us.

And certainly at some level it comes down to calories in versus calories out and if someone is eating too much they should cut back.

But this can still be simplistic. For instance, an overweight, middle age person might cut their calorie intake by 100 calories a day and their body might respond by burning 100 less calories just while doing things like sitting in a chair...

Once a body has accustomed to a higher weight it can fight weight loss by slowing down the resting metabolism.

So reducing the calories in can reduce the calories out. No, it isn't always that simple for everybody but trying to reduce it to simple phrases isn't really accurate either.
