Comment on Anon figures out how dieting works
FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 3 months agoI wouldn’t say way more. If you cut your weight in half then you can expect to cut your calorie requirements by at most a third.

4200 for a 300lbs man that doesn’t exercise.

That doesn’t seem related to my comment, are you sure that you can read English?

Me: You need to keep eating way more than 2200 calories in order to be stable at 300lbs
You: I wouldn’t say way more, you’ll cut your calories by a third of you lose half your weight
Me: 300lbs sustenance is 4200 calories

If anything you’ve highlighted the discrepancy between maintaining 300lbs at both 2200 and 4200, but more importantly my comment was about how calorie requirements go down pretty moderately as your weight decreases and your response to that was “at 300 very big number of calorie”.
According to THIS calculator your estimate is 900 calories too high.
