Threshold Based On Weight
If you are underweight and have no chronic medical condition, the calories you need per day are 1,200 to 1,500. On the other hand, if you are overweight or obese, you need to consume less than 1,200 or 1,500 calories daily.
If a man is already healthy, 1,500 calories per day are the maximum limit for losing weight. If he is overweight or obese and is on a weight loss plan, then 1,200 to 1,500 calories are all he needs. The caloric threshold would be between 1,000 to 1,200 calories for men who weigh more.

The height and weight charts are complete nonsense. They don't take genders and muscles into account as much as they should, as a "heavy" athlete is in better shape than a "light" normie much of the time. I also think that the weights are too high for short women, and they're too low for tall women. I have my own system that uses the KISS (not the rock band) approach.
A normal younger 5'0 woman should weigh a hundred pounds. Add five to fifteen pounds for larger frames, and subtract five to fifteen pounds for smaller frames (bones, not blubber). Use the same method for men, but add fifteen pounds to the totals, and add more weight for athletes, bodybuilders, powerlifters, etc.. It's not perfect, but it beats unrealistic gobbledygook.

And the results you have gotten for using those guildlines speak for themselves.
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." Albert Einstein(not verified)
There is an obvious corollary-"If you keep doing what you are doing, you will keep getting what you are getting."
If you insist on not doing anything pragmatic about your weight, at least get over your anger about it.

Let he, who is without "insanity", cast the first stone. My glass house would shatter if I did.

I agree 2500 calories is way too much. No wonder America is so fat on average. I feel optimal on 1700-1800 and I'm stronger/more muscle mass than your average person

He has a history of misconstruing things like guidelines to serve his purpose.
It is little different than a wino who hears one glass of wine can be beneficial and then uses that fact to justify guzzling two bottles a day.

It is learning how to enjoy one's insanity which is important.
If I use mine only to cause myself or others duress, that is a different story.

That's fair enough. Just don't go all "Captain Ahab" on us, even though Meade can be a *dick* at times.

Where did you get that info from? 1500 is very low for a man. I would say at least 1800 k are needed daily, and that's even for a non active person.
This is what that article says:
Threshold Based On Exercise
The more intense the exercise you do, the greater the number of calories you need. As a guide, you need the following number of calories per day:
Athletes and more intense physical activity – 2,500 to 3,000 calories per day
Sedentary – 2,000 to 2,500 calories
