> Assume you need 2,500 calories/day Well, your first mistake is there

• crazygringo 7y ago
  As a 6'1" male who goes to the gym regularly, I need 2,800 calories/day just to maintain my weight which is in the middle of the range for normal-weight BMI. (If I'm trying to build strength, I need a bit more.) So enough with the snark, please. 2,500 cal/day is well-known as the average male guideline, while 2,000 cal/day is the average female guideline. None of this changes my original point. Obviously nobody's healthily surviving on 1,200 calories/day.

    If you care about training you will adjust, and eat what you need and not 2 slices of bread. People generally don’t count calories, certainly not how many percentage per meal they need. There’s also breakfast, snacking, dinner, more snacks etc.

    It's not about you, it's about Norwegians. The snark started with you insinuating that somehow a time-tested diet is not possible, because it's different from yours.
