That doesn't necessarily follow. The vegans could end up eating huge amounts of soda and potato chips, and the low-carb people could go crazy on bacon.
- merpnderp 7y agoThe difference is that if all you ate was 4,000 calories of bacon a day, you’d lose weight. That many calories of soda and chips and you’d get ill fast.
- drdrey 7y agoIn what world do you lose weight by eating 4000 calories a day?
- ska 7y agoOne where your at stable weight and your regular diet is 4500 ?
- drdrey 7y agoI assume OP did not choose 4000 randomly, it is meant to be a _high_ number (about 2x what an average person needs). Implying that you could eat twice as much calories and stay lean _if the calories came from bacon_.
- hx87 7y agoWhen your basal metabolism is 4500 calories a day.
- merpnderp 7y agoJust because it goes in your mouth doesn’t mean you metabolism and store it.
