[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teenage dd eats a ton more than I do and is super thin. No she doesn’t purge. It’s definitely not CiCO or I would be as thin as she is :)[/quote]

No, you wouldn't. Your assumption is that you, a middle aged woman, have the same energy expenditure and metabolism as a teenager. CICO takes metabolism and energy expenditure into account.

If we could, with 100% accuracy, determine someone's energy expenditure and that was the same every day for 2 people and they ate the same calories as that number they would weigh the same and if they ate that number they would not lose or gain weight.  [/quote]

Well then I feel like it’s worthless to judge people then, if we do take metabolism into account, because most days I walk many more steps per day than my dd does as part of my job and some weeks I work out a lot more than she does and yet she continues to be a stick when I’m decidedly not. So why do we talk about this as a calculation?[/quote]

Are you for real? I am not judging anyone. I eat well but too many calories, exercise and I am overweigh. I work out hard and still struggle to lose weight. I know plenty of people who are thin and don't take care of themselves.  I also know that if you locked me in a room and put me on a 900 cal/day diet I would lose weight. I would be hungry and miserable but my body would burn my fat for the extra energy it needs.

Now is it fair that I have to eat far less than someone else to lose weight, no, but that is life.

You lack basic understanding of how a body works.

What you’re saying is if you ate 900 calories you will lose weight.

Then someone says that’s bad for your heart and joins and so many things.

So take drug X eat 1200 calories and lose weight.

Then your like no.
