Calorie labels have a 20% margin for error for underestimating caloric intake.

[VeryFuglyNiyguhs]

Calorie labels are often wildly inaccurate. Here's how to prevent extra calories from derailing your diet.

To avoid miscalculating calories, steer clear of foods with labels altogether. Whole foods can promote a healthy weight and lower risk of disease.

Basically if you eat a 1500 calorie diet you are really eating 1800 calories. If you are still skinny fat despite counting calories this could be the reason why, and in fact, it probably is the entire reason why you aren't losing weight.

don't be afraid to lower your calories or food intake to 2 meals a day instead of 3 or 4, chances are, your eating more than you think anyways.

"Furthermore, inaccurate labels can either be 20% more or 20% less than the actual calories in food." From the site, nigga.

It's usually 20% more in most cases.

If I am on a cut, I usually already assume that I eat more. This effectively counters it.

Ethnicity also plays a role. Imo, caucasians and blacks find it easier to become lean than curries and asians.

I think many african americans have been bred to be more muscular over generations by plantation owners. Also, their ancestors evolved to be leaner so that they would be able to cope with the hot climate of sub-saharan africa. I don't know much about soul food but isn't stuff like fried chicken, mac and cheese a staple for most black guys? Imo, it's not really diet but a combination of genetics and perhaps a culture that emphasizes physical activity. Like literally every single black guy is obsessed with basketball.

Did you grow up eating mostly soul food? Or like other stuff like steaks, sausages etc.

This doesn't matter that much. Track the calories and see if you lose weight.

 

[StuffedFrog]

the bulk is kicking my ass right now still though cant even gain

 

[Pakicel]

Yes. But I have been tracking calories, eating at a deficit, but still not losing weight. Genetics matter I guess and my curry genetics screw me over. Maybe, I need to eat like 500 calories tops for serious weight loss.

If you eat at deficit you will lose weight. It's physics.

Yes. But how your default setpoint is determined by genetics. There are some people who have a six pack by default untrained.

Yeah, the baseline energy consumption might be determined by genetics. But the CICO works every time.
