I think almost everyone has heard the classic (2k calories for an adult) factoid. Fewer people know what maintence, calorie deficits/surpluses are, that your calorie consumption is waaaaaay more important than "eating healthy" if you want lose weight, etc. I would also hazard that there's a really large generational gap regarding knowledge around calories/counting/TDEE between Gen Z and other generations. Every single one of my friends knows the basics of calorie counting, that your calorie maintenance limit can be extremely far off from 2k, etc - even if they're wholly uninterested in fitness. And yes, my methodology is utter rubbish lol.
