Apologies for the low resolution. It was a mobile ad and all I could get was a screenshot.

No, you're missing the point. Point is that even 500kcal less than your claimed daily intake will put into a 100++kg body weight, even if you're an elite athlete.

Unless you eat like Askeladden, there is absolutely zero chance you were eating anywhere close to 6000kcal a day if you didn't have medical condition that tampered with your intake.

Don't spread misinformation, especially about a topic that is already so heavily mired with it.

Except I was and I did. It's not misinformation. It's experience. But thanks for trying to invalidate 15 years of my life with zero information other than a basic understanding of calories and not figuring in any other metabolic factors.

Maybe you did consistently eat 6000kcal and 70% of it went right through your system and into the toilet, but then you had a medical condition that you didn't treat. Maybe a small village of tapeworms in your stomach, but no healthy person eat nearly three times as much as a normal man and stay underweight.

I spent three years going to doctors and at the end of the day it was suggested that I eat red meat salt on my food and drink alcohol to keep my blood pressure up because there was nothing they could do for my metabolism.
