Learning that it isn't the QUANTITY of calories that I eat, but the QUALITY that matters for body composition. Also, the quality of the exercise I do makes a huge difference in the same area. Body fat deposition does not correlate directly to calories in vs calories burned. It is all about the hormone reactions that the food causes.
The body tries to maintain homeostasis or a "set-point" no matter what the energy in or out is. This is why cutting calories and/or exercising more doesn't result in long term weight loss. If the food consumed is of the proper quality required for efficient metabolism, fat will be burned rather than stored and the set-point will move to a lower fat storage algorithm.
