I am pretty sure my diet stayed pretty tight, as I monitor my caloric intake using my smartphone and it remained pretty consistent. Obviously this could be skewed for other reasons so it's not gospel.
The "much" is carrying a lot of weight, so to speak, in your comment. As a reference I went from running ~25 miles a week to just walking a fraction of that as I've recovered. I did keep up my other non-cardio calisthenics throughout, though.
Some napkin math suggests I was over my calorie target by just shy of 300 calories per day over the course of this time period.
- obpe 5y agoThat's very interesting because with some more napkin math... If we assume 3500 additional calories is 1 lb of fat stored on your body, then 3500/300 = 11.6 days you gained 1lb Assuming 6 months is 180 days, then 180/11.6 = 15.5 lbs over 6 months
- coryfklein 5y agoAlso the article did say specifically that the hunter-gatherers were within 10% TEE of the average US person. That's order-of-magnitude in line with the 300 calories/day, given that the NHS recommended calories/day for men is 2500 and 10% of that is 250 calories.
