Show me these people who have managed to violate the laws of thermodynamics and we can go after the Nobel Prize together.

Otherwise, a calorie is a unit of energy. Your body burns energy. Gasoline is energy for your car engine. If your car requires 10 gallons a week to drive to work and you put only 7 gallons in the tank, you don't end up with extra gas in the tank at the end of the week. That's just not possible.
