[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not necessarily.  I eat 2000kal a day (approx) and don't have to watch it. My weight problem was simply me being gluttonous. I highly doubt that many women aged 40 with a set point of 145 can embark on an agressive calorie consumption to the tune of 3000kal a day and get little to no exercise can stay 145 no matter what.[/quote]

Of course not!  That's not what I'm saying.  Person A maintains 145 lbs by eating 1800 calories a day, having never gained weight.  Person B starts off at 145 but ends up slowly gaining to 185 over time, let's say by eating 1900 calories a day.  Person B loses that weight back down to 145 and discovers to maintain 145 she can only eat 1600 calories a day.  If she tries to maintain 145 on 1800 calories like Person A, she will find herself back at 185.

If you are training like an Olympic athlete, of course you can eat more because you are burning it up!  But that doesn't change the fact that once your set point increased, it never goes back down.[/quote]
