Perhaps not normal bodies, but certainly some bodies. I don't count calories. Sometimes I eat ridiculously large meals. Sometimes I snack on calorie-dense foods all day. But my weight has been basically constant since I stopped getting taller. Although I haven't measured it, it must be that I'm compensating by eating less (or at least less energy-dense) on other days. I do this without trying, or even thinking about it: I simply eat as much as I want to, whenever. When other people do the same, they gain weight. Obviously, they're eating more calories than they're burning, and I'm not, but why?
- bluecalm 10y agoSure, some bodies don't, some bodies do. There is nothing natural about the body ability to eat whenever it feels like and as much it feels like and not get fat. A lot of cats and dogs will get fat if we give them unlimited access to food as well and others won't (well, at least some cats won't). Humans are not special snowflakes.
