Increasing calories burned beyond calories consumed is an all too common misconception regarding weight loss. This simplified calculation does not take into consideration the source of these calories. Different foods result in different metabolic effects. So eating all of your calories at McDonalds is not the same as eating the same number of calories from real, non-processed, food.
Similarly, dieters often rely on activity trackers or other fitness devices to determine their calorie burn. This is an imperfect science and often leads to over eating.
Below is a good article on this topic.
