[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fat people eat an average of 6700 calories a day. Obese people obviously eat more.

LOL you are talking out your ass. I'm 30 pounds overweight and I eat about 2500 calories a day. Of course, I am a premenopausal woman of 50 so there you go - no metabolism left.[/quote]

Nope, got it from a New York Times article about obese people and calories. Literally, that's the average, though the article does go on to say that some people have odd metabolisms. Uh, I guess like all the obese women on DCUM who wear size 14.

If you want to lose 30 pounds, you either have to start burning an extra 1000 calories a day, or eat 1000 less calories a day. Stop blaming it on your age.

I'm in my forties, and I don't know any women who eat more than 1200-1500 calories a day, unless they exercise a lot.

That's why you're fat. If you have a problem with my numbers, write a letter to the NY Times.

The problem with most women - and men - is they don't have a clue how many calories they are consuming. It is not unusual to find people who live a basically sedentary life and then consume over 5000 calories on average everyday even as they assume that they are controlling their eating. Part of the problem is that Americans eat out so often and the food at restaurants is laden with calories. So they tuck into an appetizer and then an entree and a dessert and easily consume 2000 calories in one meal and then think they are controlling their eating!

But you will not convince them and when they reach a certain point, they will claim that they are happy with their bodies when the reality is that they know they are obese.[/quote]
