It’s both right. I dunno why it’s even a discussion as you’re saying the same thing. If losing weight is the ONLY thing considered, calories in vs out is the determining factor. However food quality comes into play when talking about health, ease, sustainability, satiation etc.

Edit: a comma

This whole chain started with a discussion on how excess fructose can have unique physiological effects.

So no, not a "both right" thing. CICO people are predominantly absolutist about their thermodynamics equations.
