You need like 1800 calories just for your basic metabolic functions lol. You need to consume more on top of that in order to maintain your weight. At 370 lbs, without doing any exercise you could lose weight eating 3500 calories a day.

Maintaining mass is a significant energy requirement in of itself. That's why a bigger dude has to eat more to keep on being a big dude.

Youre making a lot of assumptions there buddy dearest.

how do you live with yourself

I didnt know you can choose to stop living with yourself. Thats incredible

I studied this shit religiously broski

Fairly accurate calculator of your basal metabolic rate, although just an estimate: http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/

Work that out, and that's (roughly) the amount of you calories you burn at rest, doing nothing. Add a few hundred calories for just walking around and doing stuff.

This calculator estimates how many calories you need to just maintain your weight: http://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html (You can put the option as BMR but you burn more than that even on your ass, so 'sedentary' would be more accurate.)

Maybe I was exaggerating with 3500 calories, but definitely 3000 you'd lose weight on. The only thing I may have assumed is that you don't have an underactive thyroid...

Doesnt even read the thread, tries to shame. Love it bruv.

I read it the first time I read the thread yesterday but it didn't stick in my memory. It still doesn't have a massive effect on your metabolism, it's not like without that condition you'd be 170 lbs is it? I wasn't shaming, unless that constitutes everyone that disagrees with your defeatist perspective.

Id be like 270 which would suck. Im hoping to go for 500 one day.

so start taking your thyroid meds...? have you legitimately got a death wish?
