[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1:22 - Why would anyone be jealous of someone only being able to eat 700 calories a day?  That sounds awful.  That is almost no food. I can easily eat that in a meal. Even a normal meal of 1,400 sounds awful.  If that's gloating, I'm a little sad for the gloater.

Now I can see someone being jealous when I say that at 44, I can eat 2,500 calories a day or more and maintain weight, or cut back to around 2,000 and lose.  That's what years of daily exercise and not jacking up your metabolism can do.  When dieting, it's a good idea to think long-term when it comes to metabolism.[/quote]

I'm in the same boat.  I'm not thin (not overweight either) but a regular eater and hardcore exerciser.  My caloric levels are similar because I've had an eye towards metabolism long-term.[/quote]

Yup, me too. I posted earlier how I now maintain at around 2,500 calories a day, despite being short, and despite previously losing a bunch of weight.

I'm now in this stride for the long term and exercise daily. Not necessarily for weight, but because it feels good to sweat and be strong now - I genuinely like working out and it's not something that's a chore. But it's nice that I can eat a good amount of food, not deprive myself, and not gain weight. Regular exercise raising your metabolic rate is not to be underestimated. I'm SO glad I lost weight the strong way  :) [/quote]
