Just a question for those who think being fat isnt about calories and food intake.

How many fat people have starved to death?


How many skinny people have binge eating disorders?

how much food are we talking. you could be nibbling on the same dollar bag of potato chips throughout the day for all we know

 

[Deleted member 1209]

5 sodas is 750 calories if you're talking about cans

For me eating is a chore.

It's more about insulin and hormonally dictated weight set points. Which is why so many people see success on keto/zerocarb/carnivore diets without calorie restriction.

they are still in a calorie deficit the laws of thermodynamics don't change, their body composition might be better because they are eating alot of nutritious foods but if they are in a calorie surplus they will gain weight

I mean moreso a conscious calorie restriction, like calorie counting.

From my experience when I switched to low carb, high fat high protein, I'm able to eat every meal to satiety (not trying to starve myself, or stay hungry, or count what I'm eating), but it's because of the inherently more satiating nature of the food that leads to the energy imbalance and weight loss. Not to mention an increase in insulin sensitivity that automatically lowers your body's weight set point so that it maintains a higher basal metabolic rate which also contributes to weight loss.

I ate 8 medium sized burritos, 5 sodas which have like 150 calories each, 2 gallons of whole milk, 2 pints of ice cream, a whole pizza, mash potatos with fried chicken,

in a day today and I usually eat that much food almost every day

ok, then you're probably eating at maintenance if you average it out over the course of a week

yes of course if I ate like that everyday I would weigh 600-700 pounds

its a combination of genetics, height, metabolism, hormones, diet, age
but my body just naturally wants to stay lean and its also probably because I am still a teenager and teenager can eat anything and not gain weight they are known for it
