The headline kinda blows. All calories are equal, but if you include the calories which are used by gut flora, our current counts are inaccurate. Not as catchy, I guess.
Meaningless distinction. The whole point is calories from the perspective of gut flora because we're interested in how the body is using those calories in this context.
