[quote=Anonymous][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.

Please find the article and post the link to it.  TIA.[/quote]

And btw, as someone who ate an average of 1250 calories/day for 1.5 years to lose a huge amount of weight, I know exactly what it takes to eat that few calories consistently and not be hungry or undernourished.  Eating that few calories daily requires you to very carefully plan your food and monitor your intake to ensure you're getting sufficient protein, fiber, fats, vitamins and other essential nutrients.  So either all the women you know are very well informed regarding nutrition and are carefully monitoring their intake, or they are regularly hungry and undernourished.

Or - most likely - you really don't know how many calories they eat.  You certainly don't know how many calories "most" overweight and obese people eat.  Seriously, find that link to the NYT article and show it to us.  It either doesn't exist, or you're misremembering the content of it, because a piece in the NYT stating the average calorie consumption you describe for overweight/obese people would have gotten a LOT of comments and letters calling bullshit.[/quote]
