You burn calories differently depending on what you eat. This means 100 calories of crap burn at a different rate than 100 calories of the good stuff. Yes, burning 100 calories is 100 calories burnt regardless of the food source, but metabolism works 24-hours a day. Your body cannot adequately operate on a McDiet, so those calories would mess up your system, including your metabolism. This is why it isn't as simple as energy in vs. energy out.
You'd have a really hard time burning through 2,500 daily calories of McFood vs. burning through 2,500 calories of WillravelFood.
Metabolism is a complex mechanism.
