Are you quoting me back to... me..? And you think you need to source that?
No, I didn't explicitly mention the basic concept of nutrition science.
"I burn it so fast"
Perhaps. Or perhaps you don't absorb all of it, or you have a rapid transit time, or a billion other reasons. I don't know who you are, what you eat and what you do, so I couldn't possibly comment on what is objectively right for you or what is going on what you.
People are very different, yes, but some basics apply. Like all else being equal, CICO is the defining factor. And if it seems it isn't, there's likely a disorder of some sort.
It's a pretty undeniable fact that if you maintain a caloric deficit for long enough, you'll lose weight. And if you eat more than you consume, you gain weight. If it seems you're consuming something like 5000 kcal a day, not exercising at all and still not gaining weight, as a non-obese non-Shaq person, then you should probably consult a gastroenterologist for some tests.
