    Not in his case. There's also a huge gap between not eating and eating 2500 calories a day.

    That's true, Richmondbread can cut his calorie intake only if he want to and try.

    I recommend you to try the famous Keto diet & and their natural supplement capsules. I bought It myself obviously I'm not fat but It helped me get rid of the belly fat .

    a calorie is a unit of measure, like a pound or mile, though the amount matters, so to does the content, sugar and starch are more likely to become fat, believe it or not animal fat doesn't turn into fat unless eaten with sugars, so if you ate a steak without a sugary sauce or baked potato, it wouldn't be very fattening, even if slabbed with butter

    Some people can lose weight on 2500kcal.

    Some people need to drop to 1500kcal.

    If you're seriously truly honest-to-goodness on 2200kcal and still gaining...

    ...drop to 2100kcal for 3 weeks and see what the results are.

    Sucks but that's genetics for you.

    Obviously you should cut out excess sugars and stuff but at the end of the day it's calories in vs calories out and what specifically you eat is just strategy (as in, how to get nutrition without overeating). If your body burns 2500kcal a day it doesn't matter if you eat 2600kcal of pure sugar or 2600kcal of beef, you'll still put on weight (although the sugar will also rot your teeth and leave you severely undernourished).

    Remember to take multivitamins.

    Unless you're doing intense manual labor, you're probably overestimating the amount of calories you're burning at work

    Psyllium husk, bruh, like I keep saying. It will jump start your metabolism after a bit, and you’ll get rid of some of that sludge. If you can’t find it or don’t want to order online, it’s the key ingredient in Metamucil (basically psyllium husk+orange sugary flavoring....better than nothing, but I’d recommend the straight up husk).

    You’ll also feel better. Your body will begin putting energy into other parts of your life. It’s also nice, cause no ones really allergic to psyllium (that I’m aware of!?)

I eat between 1800-2400 k average, depending on daily exercise. At work I do 5 hour shifts about 3x a week and I got a lot of exercise there because I'm constantly on my feet and walking around the whole shift. So that. Plus, I ride my bike twice a week for an hour. I count my calories on Fat Secret with an average of 1800-2400 . Most of my food is chicken, tuna, and sandwiches. I avoid chips and fries, but I have had (some) cookies and ice cream, twice a week. But with my caloric deficit, I should not be anywhere near this heavy. The worst part is people think I'm lying or lazy when I'm doing what I should be doing. Should I have my hormone levels checked or maybe thyroid?

    You did not reach 300 lb overnight, so don't expect to lose 100 lb fast.

    You're doing the right thing, but enforce the good behaviors that you can keep for life, not just for a couple of months. If you do this you will reach your goal.

    By the way, one person I told this stuff to tried it, and in turn recommended it to a friend of theirs. Their friend was greatly obese and lost 100+ pounds in less than a year. Just from taking the stuff alone.
