Help me understand calories

For example, two people who both burn 2500 calories and eat 2500 calories - neither will gain or lose any weight, but if one of them eats mostly simple carbs and the other eats mostly protein and veg, the latter will have a better muscle/fat ratio if they do the same exercise.

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks.

yobz...i think this is similar to appreciating the difference between weight loss and fat loss...looking at simple cals in vs cals out will determine weight loss, but not necessarily fat loss and body comp...most people only think they care about weight loss when they actually care about body comp...
