Post a picture of yourself :D part III

Lol did you get the 76 on your exam?

what exam?

Ok, expert nutritionist.

Maths I think.

What do you mean by "someone like me"?

Ok, expert nutritionist.

Slow and fast metabolisms do actually exist. We all have differing levels of thyroid hormones and, in short, the higher your free T3 levels the faster your metabolism and the higher your TDEE. Hence why T3 is a popular drug among bodybuilders during cutting phases. However:

While we all have differing metabolisms, EVERYONE has a Total Daily Energy Expenditure. Could be 2000 calories per day, could be 5000. The simple fact is, you need to eat more calories than you burn as your TDEE to gain weight, and since we all have a TDEE, we can all gain weight, even if it means eating upwards of 5000 calories a day.

Problem with people that swear they eat loads and don't gain weight, though, is that they really don't eat much. If you calculated the caloric intake of all the food you eat on the average day, the figure probably wouldn't be huge. It's like on Supersize vs Superskinny where the skinny person swears they eat loads and the fat person doesn't know why they're fat; then the experts monitor their eating habits and it becomes obvious. Then they try each other's diets and the skinny person struggles to eat it all and the fat person is constantly hungry.

For the record, I've been the "I never put on weight and I eat loads!" guy, but looking back I now know that I used to eat **** all really

This is all Bob ****ing basics

What Woody is saying isn't rocket science. It takes some time learning around it but it isn't that hard.

Yes precisely. @dairychocolate Woody has explained it pretty clearly here. You friend for the record is probably grossly exaggerating since most guys who don't lift won't even have a 5000 caloric maintenance, unless their activity level is extremely high which is pretty plausible.

I appreciate your time out to write this.

Don't bother bro, guy's an *****.

I was sort of hoping I'd send myself off to sleep while I was writing it Only reason I wrote it out tbh, evidently the guy wants to be skinny so I needn't have bothered.

Yea but he is also a bit of a xenophobe so make sure to pirate his books. I've got the RFLD somewhere

Sorry you were just brought to stroke sae's ego. Nothing else.

I never knew! Lucky I did that to begin with If you need any of them let me know, same goes to @WoodyMKC @XxKingSniprxX and anyone else.

@ServantOfMorgoth No I tagged him to educate you since he's pretty good at presenting nutritional concepts. Clearly should not have.

I was trying to work out what your avatar reminds me of and I think it might be Atreyu.





Great film. I approve.
