    CICO or TDEE calculations are pretty rough estimate, IMO. I have gained, lost and maintained all at the same caloric and activity level. I had health changes and food type changes and that caused the differences.

    Have you ever watched Feltham's 5000 kcal challenges? He eats 5000kcals of a higher carb diet and a lower carb diet. I believe he also does vegan. Different results from different foods. http://live.smashthefat.com/5000-calorie-carb-challenge-day-21/

    Wittrock does it with a 4000kcal diet challenge too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRop_ltYUlk

    He gains less than expected.

    Wittrock's "experiment" has multiple issues, including poor tracking and no calorie baseline at all, as was discussed in the previous thread while it was ongoing.

    And Feltham? Holy crap. To say he looks like an unreliable source from my reading of that link and his explanation would be an understatement.

    How does anyone read something like that and nod their head in agreement, rather than shake it in disbelief? Srsly.

    I blame the KoolAid.

    can you really eat 10,000 calories in one day??

    10k calories isn't that much for some people.

    Hahaha yeah maybe not if you're 6'10" and 350 pounds, but for anyone not on stuff, it's a pretty substantial surplus.
