The study says that TDEE is generally constant from 20 to 60. Multiple studies have shown that on average people do a terrible job of estimating their food intake ([1], [2] for example), especially when they aren't actively monitoring it. Meanwhile the person you're talking about (who isn't properly "OP") is claiming that they ate more in their 20s than they do today without corresponding health effects. This is not consistent with TFA nor with previous research. 1: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejm199212313272701 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejm199212313272701 2: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/08870446.2019.1649406 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/08870446.2019.16...
