Do any of you find that you seem to burn more calories than "typical"?

And like most articles about "metabolism", it is a word salad of loosely linked non sequiturs and gobbledygook.
If you are implying that everyone has the same metabolic rate that is utter nonsense and I will assume you have zero background education in Nutrition or Medicine.

No I'm really not. Because idc what a profile says that's ridiculous to say. I personally have studied medicine and nutrition so I'm not going to fall victim to someone claiming metabolism is made up like the easter bunny.0 -

Why do you keep attacking people?
That's not attacking. They came here attacking me trying to tell me how my body Works. I don't need anyone's help or advice and I didn't request it so unless they're trying to cause conflict why are they here where they're not needed? I've been on mfp over six years on this account and I've lost weight successfully many times and only gained from pregnancy and injury. I don't agree with their bs. I've studied nutrition multiple times at different levels and aced it and I'm majoring in pharmacy so I've also taken many medical courses. Saying everyone burns the same based on height and weight and there are no exceptions and never strong variations is incorrect and arguing won't make it seem any less ridiculous to me. Same users who try to argue height doesn't matter when calculating calories burned walking even though it's proven that it does.0 -

You're right--none at all. I just hang out here because there are so many pleasant, open-minded people to meet.
Whatever you do have obviously hasn't worked out of you're claiming no one has varying metabolic rates.0 -
Well, on the non-exercise side of things, there's this:
https://examine.com/nutrition/does-metabolism-vary-between-two-people/
Does this apply to exercise? I don't know.
Purely speculating, I'm inclined to agree with others that people of the same size/fitness/body composition/etc. are going to tend to burn approximately the same number of calories when doing the same amount of work.
However, for many activities, the "work" aspect of this could vary, because of how different people do "the same" activity. As a trivial example: Walking 2 miles on level ground at 3.5 mph is a certain amount of work. Still, I've gotta believe that a person swinging their arms vigorously while walking is burning a few more calories than another person who's doing less of the non-required ancillary movement. Or the one walking on a soft sand beach is burning more calories than the one on a hard-surface path.
Some exercises are more prone to variability than others. For example, Concept 2 rowing machines give you a calorie estimate, and they provide an online calculator for adjusting the results based on your body weight. The calories (or watts, or other values it tells you) are decent measures of the work done to the machine.
But I've watched a lot of people use these machines, and occasionally looked at the memory afterward. If I set out to re-row a piece that I've seen certain people do, and I did my best to reproduce the exact same stats on the machine, I'd 100% guarantee you that I'd burn many fewer calories than that other person did (even weight adjusted).
Why? Because they don't know what the (bleep) they're doing, and are moving bunches, really vigorously, but not doing things that register as work to the machine. Yeah, they burned calories, but their virtual 'boat' was moving at a crawl. I can make the virtual boat move at that same crawl while doing hardly any work, but it registers as the same number of calories/watts/whatever to the machine.
And that's an example of a "carefully metered" activity! I can't even begin to guess at the variability in something like aerobics or calisthenics, that's very free form. As far as your device (Fitbit or whatever), it has only so many things it can use to estimate activity. Depending on the device, it could use GPS coordinates (including elevation changes), accelerometer, heart rate . . . . all of which are still approximating/estimating calories via a proxy.
However, once you do what you do for a while, and see what your device says, and figure out whether you should eat back none, some or all of what it tells you, you can still succeed, even if the data is inaccurate. What the device tells you need not be true, in order to be useful. Using a device (vs. MFP exercise database estimates) does at least control for some of the potential sources of variability. The results may be consistent for you, thus useful, without necessarily being objectively accurate.5 -

As far as people of the same height and weight because if not why is it so amazing that I might burn what I'm stating even if results fit? Again yeah it's rare so what? Someone needs to be that . 001% or W.E. It is and again it's working for me so I don't need advice if I log my three hr walk as 1500calories eat them all back and still lose at the same weight why do you care or why come just to argue error with no proof of it when its not even the topic of the thread?0 -
