If the average person needs about 2000 calories a day, how many calories should you eat in a day?

If your goal is to lose weight and you determine you need to limit yourself to 1800 calories a day, how many calories should you eat in a day?


Trick questions? No, they're not, but the answers you give will demonstrate exactly why so many people have problems dropping all the fat they accumulate by eating and drinking garbage while sitting on their asses for far too long.

So, fatties, answer the questions, and then I'll enlighten you and help you drop some lard over time.

Yes, but the key to doing it is by ignoring caloric intake over a daily period in favor of a 10 day, or greater, plan. So rather than trying to limit yourself to "X" number of calories per day, which is a pain in the ass for most people, you limit yourself to "Y" number of calories over a 10 day period. That way you can mix and match the calorie density of your meals to keep it interesting.

The long term planning allows you to introduce calorie bombs much easier than daily planning, which means it's easier for the average person and more likely to be successful.

Strength based training is fine as it will indeed build muscle and help burn fat, however, if you're lifting, you need to use body consistency as the standard and not just weight.

>> No.11641092

>>11641074
So I just need to use a scale that can appraise body fat percentage to understand my weight lifting progress.

ANd my point about oil and butter is that I know not all the oil and butter I use when greasing a pan is ingested, plenty stays in the pan when I'm done cooking and is washed off at the end, I'm just asking about a rule of thumb. Like if I use X amount of butter to grease a pan to fry 2 eggs, and then the pan is still slick with plenty of butter at the end, what portion of X do I record?

Well, ideally, 2000 if that's what you need. But if you do more, you need more to sustain a healthy weight.
>if your goal is to lose weight and (...) you limit to 1800 calories a day, how many should you eat in a day
1800, what the fuck. Less ideally as long as you're getting the necessary nutrients I guess.

I was around 350 at the start of 2018, and now I'm to 275. In truth it wasn't from my own willpower, I had a severe fit of OCD and anxiety over food allergies and I was afraid to eat fucking anything, so I started eating just about the only thing I liked to eat and was comfortable eating without puking up afterwards for fear it'd kill me or some equally stupid, illogical shit (rice). So I went from eating fast food and drinking soda to just not. And I haven't felt any inkling of a desire to go back to it. I mean I'm not turning down a slice of pizza, but I'm not eating an ENTIRE pizza by myself now, I'm eating one or two slices like a fucking normal person.

I need to actually work out, because I basically just cut my calorie intake from, honestly I think 6000+ (or maybe even more I didn't ever count), to around 2000, in all honesty I'm still eating 2500, maybe 3000 some days because my stomach is fucking huge and just a normal sized meal doesn't cut it, so I go back for thirds, or fourths. I wish I didn't but I don't have the willpower for it. I'm entirely aware but I just can't physically stop myself from eating more, because I'm so fucking hungry. I hate it so much.
But that's about it. I feel more comfortable now so I'm branching out some, but I get severe hives and throat-swelling if I eat fruits. Vegetables are alright though, so I'm working those in. Wish I could eat apples, but carrots are alright I guess.

Intermittent fasting has no severe downsides and fringe health benefits (some studies show HGH production more than quintupling during IF but IF studies are limited in general) but its REAL advantage is that it prevents grazing and helps control food intake by preventing you from eating at all. Basically the more specific your rules the less likely you are to break them. Lapses are usually caused by ambiguities permitting you to give yourself an undeserved break.

No, anon, that's wrong. It all depends on what you want to eat, and when you want to eat it, based on a long term plan of at least 10 days. Maybe you want to have a 2500 calorie day?

Persistent metabolic adaptation 6 years after "The Biggest Loser" competition"
>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27136388
>After 6 years ... RMR was 704±427 kcal/day below baseline (P < 0.0001) and metabolic adaptation was -499±207 kcal/day (P < 0.0001).

those contestants were watched and monitored by doctors and dietiticians and trainers throughout the show to ensure they followed the conventional "eat less move more" CICO plan to the letter, and it left their metabolism utterly wrecked even 6 years later, to the point where they would gain weight at more than 1300kcal/day.

Fasting (including intermittent fasting) and fasting-mimicking diets like keto avoid this problem, since the metabolic adaptation to actual starvation ends as soon as you start eating again. with calorie restriction the adaption is permanent, and exercise doesn't help, nor do drugs (the Biggest Loser contestants were drugged to keep their metabolism up during the show).

who knows. OMAD is the least fasty of the various IF schemes, so its the most susceptible to getting you into trouble.
standard diets with calorie restriction diets fucks your metabolism because it keeps your insulin:glucagon ratio high enough that the body has to run on dietary energy. fasting or fasting-mimicking diets like keto with calorie restriction work because they lower your insulin enough to allow the adopose cells to release their fat, and the resulting low insulin:glucagon ratio triggers the liver into producing ketones and the muscles into running off triglycerides, so the deficit in your caloric intake is made up with the adopose fat.
OMAD with a "balanced" reduced calorie meal will raise your insulin levels for several hours - how many hours varies wildly. whether your scheme will harm your metabolism depends on how fast your insulin levels drop and how long the energy from your meal remains in circulation, and how long your insulin levels remain low before your next meal. it can work for a lot of people, but it may not for a prediabetic. OMAD with a reduced-calorie low-carb/keto meal will work though since the low carb meal keeps your insulin low even if you eat 1500kcal.

You need a calorie deficit to lose weight. Period. Keto and fasting are both ways to do that without damaging your metabolism. To increase muscle then intermittent fasting is the way to go because fasting increases HGH production for rapid muscle gains. But if you go with shorter fasts then it helps to eat keto during your feeding window so your insulin stays low during most of the fasting window.

If you're fasting you aren't eating any carbs - fasting is low carb by definition. During your feeding phase you arent fasting, so eating keto or not becomes relevant. This is an obvious point, but it really helps to think of IF as multiple separate diets that alternate, not as one diet with two phases. This makes it clearer that you can customize the feeding time to achieve whatever you want. I've been doing a 3 day fast, hard exercise, then a 2 day high protein diet to build muscle, then a 2 day calorie restricted keto diet, then repeat. I lost weight while gaining substantial muscle.

Yep. Fasting and keto are related. Fasting does lots of things, it lowers insulin resistance, loses weight without metabolic damage, raises hgh and adrenalin (you actually feel hyper during a fast), and triggers autophagy where the body kills marginal cells and recycles them, cleans up telomere damage associated with alzheimers, and seems to weaken or kill many cancers. Keto primarily lowers insulin levels and the benefits are those that flow from this, including lowering insulin resistance and losing weight without metabolic damage. Both techniques are useful in their own right, fasting is harder to do and more extreme but does a lot more, keto is easier to pull off but more limited. The two work well together, keto makes fasting much easier since theres not as big of a shift between keto and fasting as there is from a standard diet to fasting, you dont get carb withdrawals for example.

Lack of carbs causes your insulin to drop which is what triggers ketosis (technically it's the insulin:glucagon ratio, but insulin is what is controlled by diet). The keto diet is simply a way to induce ketosis and sustain it while eating a maintenance level of calories. The lack of caloric intake during a full-on fast is what triggers the rest of the metabolic changes that come with fasting. There's a continuum between keto and fasting as you reduce calories on a keto diet. There is no such continuum between a standard diet and fasting, which is where the risk of metabolic damage arises, theres a dangerous zone where your body isnt getting enough calories to survive at its metabolic level but is getting too many calories to make the changes that allow you to survive during fasting.

I lost a ton of weight by skipping breakfast, and eating a single largeish meal in 2 parts, once at 11am and again at 5pm.

You quickly get used to eating less.
I don't suggest starving yourself more than this, it affects your cognitive abilities, at least for me, it did.

This is overly complicated and unnecessary for 90% of people who just want to lose some weight. Also what a stupid and imprecise plan of action you're suggesting.

>hurr just subtract 700 somewhere else if you want to eat a lot one day

First off that's really vague and unhelpful. Secondly, you're encouraging cheat days instead of the rare cheat meal which is a bad habit and leads back to shitty eating. Keep it simple, dipshit. Fatty wants 2500 calories of beer and pizza for dinner? Coffee for breakfast and celery for lunch.

Nobody listen to this retard.

Because weight lifting burns fat and grows muscle, so you'll look better at the same weight. Yes you can gain muscle on calorie restriction, especially if you are newbie lifter.

I believe I am underweight due to my diet and genetics. I seem to eat as much (if not more) than my brother but can't seem to reach his weight. Is there anything that can help slow down my metabolism or give me fast fats and calories (aside from nuts)?

Yea, thought so. About the only thing you can do is make sure you're eating all should be unless you want to try to go a bulking route, which is a pain in the ass.

At 25 your metabolism will start to slowly wind down and it'll be easier to pick up and maintain muscle.....but fat, too. At 30 is when shit starts to slow down for real, and it gets worse every year after that.

>he didnt read the paper
Thats not what happened, chucklefuck.
the contestants that dropped off the diet sooner had a higher RMR 6 years later when the study was done. It was much lower than normal for a person of their weight/age/gender, but higher than the contestants that stayed on the diet longer. the longer the contestants stayed on the CICO eat less/move more diet the greater the metabolic damage they suffered. The greatest metabolic damage was to the one contestant that had successfully kept her weight off 6 years later. unfortunately for her the trend is inexorable, the greater her willpower and determination, the worse the metabolic damage. there is no winning with the CICO diet.

I eat less than 2000 calories a day and I've replaced soda with water, carbonated and sparking water, and coffee
I've lost 10 lbs but I'm stagnating around the 240lbs mark (I'm 6 ft. 2 inches so I'm at a weight that's actually not unhealthy) but I still want to lose more. I can't work out because I had surgery recently so I want to make a dietary change once again

I eat one meal a day, and only one, but it's usually around 1800 calories by itself
Is that the problem?

240lbs is still obese at 6'2" according to BMI, and if you're making a concerted effort to lose weight I doubt you have a low enough body fat percentage or high enough muscle mass that you're an exception to BMI.

I know that many fat people that have always been fat - I blame mainly their parents for this, as they are often fat themselves and offer terrible food to their kids, refuse to lose because they'll end up disgusting, anyway.
Excess skin is ugly, still, I think it's best for their health. Unfortunately, most of them have grow up depressed and mentally ill.

Every body is different, anon. If you hit a plateau, it's time to change things up to regain momentum, so try going to 2-3 meals a day and see if that helps speed up your metabolism. Positive waves, dude.

And of course those poor fat bastards are bombarded with advertising that makes it seem normal and "cool" to eat pure sugar/salt/fat garbage no matter where they turn.

If there were as many heroin commercials normalizing that shit as there are soft drink and fast food commercials, than half the nation would be dependent on smack.

Can't keep the kikes from making their money on sugar futures and fast food, though, can we?
