Don’t eat more than you are actually hungry for, take the time to eat, drink water instead of all the fun crap, be active, that’s it, you might not become as skinny as you might feel pressured to be but not everyone has the metabolism for it, some people naturally have a higher or lower BMI, it’s just capitalism pressuring us into fitting unrealistic criterias.
3k in one meal would be extremely surprising but if it’s the case then it’s a professional you should be talking with, not random people on the Internet.
Dieticians now include a lot of psychological work in what they do as a lack of control over one’s eating habits is often related to external psychological issues, conditions where people don’t feel when they’re full are extremely rare.
The point I’m making is that a person who chronically overeats isn’t going to know when “enough is enough”. It’s incredibly easy for a person to overshoot their TDEE and end up gradually gaining weight while only eating until they’re full.
I say this as someone who works out 6 days a week, cycles 250km a week and works a fairly physical job. I probably eat close to 3500 calories a day just to maintain weight and I could still probably have some snacks.
If I wanted to lose weight and not count calories how would I do that? If I wanted to drop body fat and maintain muscle mass how would I do that without counting calories and macros?

Okay but like… What if I’m so used to eating a lot that I can pack down 3k cals in one go?
