    Are they doing that or is this just a “stupid idiot is clearly just cheating” blanket retort?

    Had a friend who was overweight and got into long distance running. He went from 300 lbs to a lean, mean 140. Then he injured his knee and had to give up his sport. Simple diet didn’t work, he steadily put on 100 lbs over the next two years.

    Another girl I know cleans straight through 3000+ calories a day easy. Never went above 120. In fact, if she’s not housing down food she gets weak and anemic.

    That’s got nothing to do with intake and everything to do with metabolism
