I always wonder how much of what we consume is actually absorbed, specially when factoring gut microbiome and non-soluble fibers.

This leads me to believe that obesity isn't an excess consumption of calories through food, but variation between people in how efficient or inefficient their digestive absorption is. Obese people don't need less food, they need a molecular knob to turn down the absorption of nutrients in their gut.
