The intriguing thing is that even for people who gain a lot of weight - say four stone over five years - the excess of intake is a very small percentage. Since people are of different sizes and levels of activity this small percentage is much smaller than the likely difference in requirements between people. We don't expect everyone to eat the same amount at all. The problem is eating just a bit more than that particular person needs in the context.
