Here is another stable algorithm for losing weight, which is fully compatible with cardio.
Choose a desired rate of weight loss and a measurement period. Each period, measure your inputs and do the following:
IF (weight_loss_rate < desired_rate)
input -= 200 cals
ELSE
input += 50 cals
END
After following this algorithm, your caloric intake will converge to the region [optimal rate - 150, optimal rate + 50]. This is true even accounting for noise in the measurements - that just smears out the -150 and +50 a bit.
The nice thing about bodyweight is that it's a stable monotonic dynamical system. Noise and uncertainty don't hurt you much provided you build robust controls.
