Please explain how I'm "once again talking out of my ass". It's pretty common knowledge that too much of a caloric deficit will slow down your metabolism. Are you trying to deny this, or did you just want to give me a typical BS ATOT retort?

You always come of as a know-it-all jerk. Who are you to tell me what my daily requirements are? Especially since you have 0 idea about my specific details. Without strenuous exercise, ~1500 is what I need to eat to avoid weight or body comp fluctuations. I am in great health, see my physician regularly, and get great results from what I do. End of story.

She's right you know...

But damn, that first post, do they ban you from Buffet's?

1300 a day is WAY too low, unless you weigh 90 lbs or something.

Agreed...that might even make you feel sick. Might want to check with your doctor about what your intake shoud be per day.

I take around 1500-2500 calorie on a daily basis. I say eat unitil your head explodes!!!

If you consume zero carbohydrates with 4lbs of fat a day, it would be impossible to gain weight from it.

Breakfast- ~450 cals
Snack- ~160 cals
Lunch- ~400-600 cals
Dinner- ~400-600 cals
+1 soda a day usually...

= ~1800 calories a day. Not bad..

I made the same mistake, I cut my intake down to 1200-1500 calories last year and I couldn't lose weight. I was tired all day and just couldn't get good workouts in. Then I almost doubled my intake to 2400 calories and started losing weight. I was energetic all day and felt much better.

About Landroval, I didn't know that she was a small woman, so my comment about her intake was wrong. Obviously a smaller woman is going to need less calories than a larger man or the average ATOT member, which is apparently about 6'4 240 lbs of shredded muscle.

That's actually true. Your body will switch from using sugars and carbs to using fat for energy, so all the fat going in will go right back out. You'd actually lose weight on this diet, but would get sick from vitamin deficiency.

Explain how you would lose weight eating 16000 cal/day of anything. Why does the fat just magically go out.

Basically, you crap most of the fat out. You don't absorb all of it in the first place.

Normally the body digests fat with greater efficiency than any of the other macronutrients, 97%. If you radically increase the fat content of your diet, your digestive system would protest mightily in the initial days (i.e. you get the sh!ts), but it adjusts if that becomes the norm. I've seen a study where people were fed something ridiculous like a 6000 cal diet of pure fat, and they handled it.

Whether you could deal with a full 4 lbs of fat daily without constant oil slicks in the toilet, I don't know. I doubt you could keep it down to begin with. Attempting to consuming 16000 cal of fat is so absurd, a good portion of it probably would exit the orifice where it entered, with you digesting an extremely high percentage of what you didn't vomit up.

Yeah, eating 4 POUNDS of fat is just crazy, lol

And consuming 16,000 calories a day- LOL


BTW- when I read this line: "Whether you could deal with a full 4 lbs of fat daily without constant oil slicks in the toilet, I don't know", and then I saw your screenname, "SludgeFactory", I got a chuckle.
