A CALORIE is a calorie.

How a body converts food to Kcals is very different from how a bomb calorimeter converts food for the 'official' measurements.

All folks are different. I eat about 2000 Kcals for first breakfast. Carbs, fats, all the good stuff.

And then move on from there.

I barely maintain my 120lbs.

Some folks would bulk up on that.

Me too. And, my diet is HEAVY on meat, meat, potatoes, meat, a sprinkling of veggies, meat, a little meat and all the wrong kinds of food. Finished off with a huge slab of Red Velvet cake with Cream Cheese frosting. Otherwise, I will cook up a whole package of bacon and fight with my son over who gets the most...

62 years old, 5’7” and, on a good day, 123lbs.

Ain’t braggin. Ain’t complainin’...

I bulk up on 1000Kcal a day. It's frustrating.

I maintain my svelt figure and 230lbs (last 10 years) with tomato juice / Coffee for Breakfast copious amounts of liquid bread for lunch and maybe a ham sandwich and some beans for supper (supper doubles as a sleeping pill)

Sawbones tells me if I omit lunch I could make my target weight of 180lbs... told him once the SHTF maintaining 180lbs will be a bigger concern for me, the extra pounds are my version of Obamacare Insurance.
