Total annual calorie intake has remained about the same since the 90s, yet obesity and diabetes rates have increased.
Calories are a flawed model of measuring metabolic health, or tracking food intake. They are units of heat energy. Humans are open biological systems that rely on chemical ATP production.
At best the calorie is just a correlate, but one that completely ignores human biology.
