    Yeah, I know the details. I was being generalistic.

    When I did power lifting I was probably eating 4000 calories a day and losing fat.

    If I ate 4000 a day now though I would balloon up and be obese in no time.

    The problem with the science world is they get paid for publishing, so sometimes nonsense studies are done.

    By no means am I discounting science method.

    But when I read full studies sometimes there are major flaws in the reasoning logic and it makes me irritated.

      Yeah I hate when there are funded studies to tell us the obvious. NewsFlash: Eating double the recommended calories make people gain weight.

      That’s still wrong though and just because people get paid money for trying to gather data doesn’t make it less valuable. Sure, the publishing system is utter bullshit, but the underlying scientific method applied is the same. So it doesn’t really matter for the example at hand. So your previous comment has a major reasoning flaw as well…

      Oh and btw the amount of recommended calories one should take in per day is total bullshit as well…
