The variables don’t matter because even if they were included, they wouldn’t make up for the lost calories. Oh well. It’s not important.

FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 9 months ago“average” is doing a lot of lifting there. And, again you are assuming normal absorption of calories. The numbers don’t add up because you aren’t considering all the variables. What’s the calorie need differential between an ectomorph and an endomorph? What role does hormone and thyroid play?
Yes, you are arguing. You might be using math but you are saying I wasn’t me.

Saying variables don’t matter is cheating at math and taking a very simplified view of metabolism of food intake. It was very important to me when I was counting every calorie and tried to lose any weight because 5 lb could send me to the hospital.

None. Somatotypes are a pseudoscience and have been completely debunked.
The difference between the “fastest” and “slowest” metabolism in healthy people of the same weight is at most 300kcal per day, which is significant, but couldn’t account for a missing ~3k surplus per day
There are however several conditions which cause the body to simply not to process food (malabsorption is the term to look up), which is what must have been happening to you.
It’s very common for people to misestimate their calories by massive amounts, which is why people are expressing doubts, but what you’re describing is a real thing that happens
