You're right and you're wrong. The problem is we don't even know what "overeating" is yet on an individual basis. Some people can pack away thousands of calories a day, not do a lick of exercise, and be fine. Others (like me) have to severely restrain their eating (to say less than 1500 calories a day) to prevent weight gain.
Once we figure out how to accurately measure basic metabolic process, we'll have gone a long way toward figuring out this woeful conundrum.
- an_account 10y agoIt doesn't take long to figure out for yourself... Start tracking calories and also weight, and then slowly adjust daily caloric intake until you stop changing weight.
- kinkrtyavimoodh 10y ago"Some people can pack away thousands of calories a day and be fine" They are almost certainly not packing thousands of calories a day, everyday. Most of these people who you see eating a lot occasionally probably have very controlled and disciplined diets most of the time (whether that control comes easily to them or with great struggle is a different matter). But it is simply not true that you can eat at significant net caloric surplus _regularly_ without gaining weight.
