So after reading the sticky I'm confused about how many calories I need to consume to lose weight.
I'm weighing 290 lbs so
>10-12*(current bodyweight in pounds)
>10-12*(290)
>2900-3480
So to lose fat I need to eat between 2900 to 3480 calories a day.
That's a shit ton of calories just to lose fat. Am I missing something? Is the sticky seriously telling me to eat way more calories than I already to lose fat. Something doesn't seem right here.
And that calculation already includes the 500 calorie deficit.
Bumping with high test

Someone post the thing with some fat british retard making cereal he thinks is like 500 calories and it really turns out to be like 3000 calories.
Op your that guy.

at 290lbs you will have a very high metabolism unless youre extremely sedentary.
People fail to realise that obese people actually burn a lot more kcals than normal people. Especially when they move.
And those eqations are only a guideline. YOu have to test it yourself through some weeks of dieting to tell if its right. And adjust it depending on your results.

Download the myfitnesspal app, put your data in it (ht, weight, age, gender etc) and your goals and it will tell you everything you need to reach them

Youve been eating over 5000-6000 calories just to maintain your weight you obese fuck.
Fatshits like you are just so stupid you underestimate your intake by half or more.

You're lying to yourself about the amount of calories you eat fatty.

Use myfitnesspal to track how much you are eating then watch Secret Eaters on youtube to get an idea of how clueless fat people are when it comes to estimating their caloric intake.

Literally citing a 25 year old study. Even the pic looks aged

He is not lying about his TDEE he is just unaware.

Hey Daniel hope your injury heals up

jsut because its 25 years old doesnt mean its inaccurate.
Obese people tend to overestimate their exercise and underestimate how much they eat.
Just like skinny people who claim "fast metabolism" overestimate how much they eat.

this
it SEEMS like a lot to him, because he's completely unaware just how many calories he consumes daily
