I pretty much agree with everything you wrote, including the strong likelihood that he's probably eating at least a few hundred calories a day more than he thinks. But if you haven't looked into his diary, a few weeks back he was stringing together a lot of days where he was logging very low calories, even days below 1000 kcal -- and he was losing nearly 4 lbs a week, so I'm not sure how much encouragement he should be given to eat less (since he's still losing 3 lbs a week even after increasing his calories to roughly 2100 most days with a few splurges in the upper 2000s and even the mid 3000s, which should still be below his TDEE -- yes, he weighs enough that he can probably safely lose faster, but I don't see any evidence he's doing this under a doctor's care).
No doctor, you are right about that.
I know any day i “splurged” and ate things I didn’t cook I likely ate more then i logged. But days where i made the food, im pretty sure i was very close because I mostly ate items that where whole packages or mechanically cut. Like off can a hard boiled egg be? A can of tuna, 4 little slices of cheese that says it should be 1 oz? I buy a piece of fish and they weigh it in front of me. That used to be my day of food.
I also am looking back at my diary and I probably jumped the gun playing with food amounts because i didn’t lose what I thought i should. Very likely.0
