It absolutely is not all calorie in calorie out. Or rather, how calories are stored and burned depend on your metabolic health. There's a massive amount of literature on this.

Here's a starting point: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196%2825%2900201-3/fulltext

    Yes but unless you're a statistical outlier that still won't make a significant difference to counting calories. When it comes to gaining or losing weight yes it is purely calorie in calorie out. The difference in caloric maintenance between an active lifestyle and a sedentary one is 4 to 6 hundred kcal. That's a bowl of cereal. Your metabolism has little overall impact.

    Metabolic health has a tremendous impact on how we process calories, and I don't really find it useful to discuss this further. There's a tremendous body of evidence to support this, that you can do whatever you want with.
