[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My maintenance amount is barely 1000 calories. Middle-aged, 5'4", 115lbs. [b]I am convinced that the supposed adult average of 2000 calories is wrong[/b]. Sure, some people need that, but lots of us need much less, particularly the fine-boned and/or petite among us. Society tells us that we shouldn't eat so little, and excoriates us for being pro-ana, when actually, we do need to eat that little for our own health. [/quote] Yes, that adult “average” includes tall men. If you weigh half as much as another person, you don’t need to eat as much as they do. [/quote] PP you replied to. You're right, of course. It's just confusing for the general public to push that number, as if we all had similar caloric needs, and even worse, to talk about a "minimum" number of calories, which is usually set at 1200. Sometimes small adults need to eat less than that.[/quote]
