Losing weight is a bit of a scientific process. In order for individuals to be more successful when it comes to losing weight, it can help for them to be aware of what helps them lose weight and what helps them gain weight. Certain foods will elicit certain experiences in the body of the individual who eats the food. By understanding more about what the breakdown of food is like within the body, individuals can educate themselves better. After they become more educated, individuals will be able to understand what they are doing to lose weight and they will be more likely to succeed since they understand why the things happen that occur after a food is eaten. Education can help a person to remain motivated and optimistic when it comes to dieting and losing weight.
Many people understand that when they eat food, they are consuming calories. Still, for many people the calorie is abstract and potentially difficult to understand and get a mental grasp on. Just because a cookie is 150 calories does not mean that an individual will understand what that means just because there is a number assigned to the cookie. Calories are in many ways energy.
Individuals need a certain amount of energy in order to function throughout the day. Active individuals use and need more energy and need to consume a number of calories, often a higher amount than individuals who are not as active. A person's caloric intake varies not only by how active the person is, it can also be affected by the person's age, height and weight. When a person consumes more calories than they need to run their body throughout the course of the day, they will gain weight. This is because they are not burning off the calories that they consumed and the calories get turned into fat or stored energy for the body, which the body believes that it may need at another point in time.
Losing weight does not require an individual to get their calories from any particular single place. Calories that come from cake are the same as calories that come from poultry. A person's body cannot tell the difference between cake calories and chicken calories. When a person burns off the calories that they consume, they will remain the same weight as long as they burn off the exact amount of calories that they consume. When a person limits their calories or burns off more calories than they consume in a single day and they keep this practice for an extended period of time, they will be able to lose weight and many people enjoy this.
Certain exercises, in addition to normal daily activities that burn off calories, can help the individual to burn off the fat and lose weight. When individuals understand the concept of the calorie, what calories are used for and how calories power the body it can be much easier for the individuals to keep a goal in mind and help them stay optimistic and lose weight.

While it is true that the body cannot tell the difference between the calories in chicken and the calories in cake, it is not true that the body operates the same on both.
The body deals differently with fat, carbs and protein. It also needs certain amounts of each to function properly. And different sources of calories give different types of energy (short term, long term etc.).
I totally agree that if you want to loose weight you should work out and balance the calories in chicken you just ate.
