In general this post looks to me like an example of the typical mind (and body) fallacy.

Calories in calories out

Likely true, but instrumentally useless (one cannot reliably count the latter).

One can stick to a calorie limit and chart one's body weight, then add or subtract 250 and watch what happens.

Yes, and it might be useful, but this does not directly measure "calories out".
