Yep ....those subtleties are very important too but really wont make much difference until trying to reach a specific goal. There are large factors and then the small stuff and how much you stuff your face is a huge factor. I lost 25 pounds a few years back and losing the last 5 required drastic measures from a calorie intake standpoint .... wasn't fun.
