karin, thanks for the great feedback, that is useful information!

Those are some great sources you listed, thanks for the feedback. Where is the journal of biomechanics available? I do agree with you that weight management is not all about counting calories, I mean if you eat more your metabolism increases especially if you include exercise, there is no dismissing that the restriction of calories slows metabolism and that timing of meals is important to improve weight loss. If you eat food after exercise it increases the thermic effect of food by 73% some studies showed. Calorie king provides information about what macronutrient the energy is coming from, which is in my opinion important, since it is necessary to eat a balanced diet of different nutrients. I would not rule out the science behind the management of calories though, especially concerning some special populations and since our society produces habits that lead to a sedentary lifestyle, and over consumption of energy. These are just my personal thoughts on the matter, but for the most part I agree with you.
