Adm_Drummer@lemmy.world 1 week agoThe 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?

And these people would benefit more from eating a variety of foods, being active and seeking processional help that will try and help them understand their relationship to food better so they can gain control over it instead of listening to gym bros telling them to count calories which is just a diet by another name as diets have an extremely high failure rate long term.
You’re in the 0.1% and you’re acting like your needs are the same as everyone else. You could find professional help as well, from a dietician specializing in the needs of people like you, which aren’t the needs of someone that’s overweight and inactive.
