Skinny fat- calorie surplus?

I just really want to know what you're eating OP. I can't fathom how you're getting that many calories in with such little protein.
No one attacking you. It's a legit concern. A friend questioned how I was eating so much protein once and claiming they only had fifty grams a day. He was a two hundred plus pound man. He was eating more protein than he thought clearly. I watched him do it. Calculations are easy to mess up when you aren't using the app.0 -

If you have a BS in biology and took a nutrition course, why are you coming here asking questions about nutrition then?

You took a nutrition course?? You do know that those who specialize in nutrition (and who know the most about it) took like 4 - 6 years worth of nutrition courses right?
Also - if you knew how calories worked you would understand that what you're saying just doesn't work out or make sense. You gain when you eat more than your maintenance, you lose when you eat less. I don't know what your maintenance amount is, but it's different than everyone else's. You're simply eating under maintenance . . . I doubt it's 3-4K calories/day at your stats but whatever I'm not arguing it with you.
Best of luck.0 -
Well this is new :bigsmile:0

I can't even begin to fathom how somebody can eat only 80g protein (320 calories) and manage to achieve 3600 calories intake a day
I just can't ...please OP can you list just one days food so I can get my head around it0 -
Bwahahaha! Well apparently this isn't the thread for me. I'm kind of fond of you know, logic.arussell134 wrote: »Kittenforever78 wrote: »Stef I think you have a jealousy problem.

I think I read somewhere once that Jared Leto chugged olive oil to gain weight for a role. Drinking oil might give you that kind of calorie/protein ratio.0 -

I think I'd be too ill to perform after doing that.0 -

Yeah - I was just about to ask how he kept it down.0 -
Well, this was a fun read.
Ever notice how all of the special snowflakes NEVER have a food diary to prove their claims?
If I could eat 3000 calories and lose weight with those stats, I sure as hell would want to prove it to everyone.
Also? I'm on 1210 calories and eat more protein than her. Mind boggling.0 -

OP left the building quite a long time ago...
I was really hoping for that Friday thread that just keeps you engaged! Darn it...0 -

I came here for helpful, general advice and instead I am being laughed at and given joking responses. Who are you to assume I'm not counting correctly and/or lying? I was put on a high calorie/high salt diet by my cardiologist and was wondering if it should be increased now that I'm working out. I will just ask him because it seems this post is full of jealousy and rude people.
So unless you were eating like zero sodium before, I have never heard of a cardiologist putting anyone on a high salt diet since high amounts of sodium are bad for the heart (and the rest of your body).
Also a cardiologist only knows about your heart . . . why would he/she be putting you on any kind of a diet? I would think you'd want to consult a nutritionist or dietician or someone who specializes in this. If you want a bypass or had a heart attack previously, sure see a cardiologist . . . but for nutrition? It's just not their speciality.
Isn't Dr Oz a cardiologist......
Well it would be his style to put someone on something like that . . . maybe he is the OP's cardiologist?? I mean those special snowflakes should get the very best in health care, amiright?0 -
Speaking as a 6'9", 230 pound man who lifts three times a week, walks ten miles a day, eats 240 grams of protein a day, and who would gain weight on 3600 calories a day, I'd be sort of jealous of such a tiny person who wouldn't gain. Too bad she's gone.0

DEAD. Literally laughing out loud at my desk.
On a more relevant note, I did want to say that the high salt thing might not be...totally out to lunch. My GP has recommended to me for years that I consume quite a lot of salt because it helps bring my low blood pressure up to a point where I don't have purple hands and feet and get dizzy/pass out when I stand quickly or for too long or whatever. So there is one legit reason to do it that I know of...not that that really improves the rest of the OP's claims or anything.
