Men- this is why we hate you.

Ok so I am not being completely serious here people, no need to be offended.

BUT. My boyfriend recently got an account here (mostly to maintain weight, but for the first week we had his settings the same as mine just out of curiousity) and all I can say is you guys SUCK! You get so many more cals to eat, and more cals for exercises. Not to mention your levels of sodium, sugar, etc are all upped (obviously). Now I understand WHY it is like this (no need for the education behind this, thanks) I am just ranting and seeing what others think about this.

I have had my boyfriend tell me he has no idea how I stay under my calories most of the time. It is very annoying when I workout and burn about 600 calories and he has not all day and he still can eat hundreds of calories more and be fine. GRR! As if women don't already have to deal with menstruating and menopause and childbirth and BOOBS, for goodness sake.

Ok. End rant.

HEY!! I'm offended!! BOOBS are awesome! :bigsmile:


My husband decides he's going to run every day and cut out soda.. he loses 10lbs. I work out for a year.. I'm at 9lbs lost. :indifferent: LOL

haha, i agree. my boyfriend isn't trying to lose weight, just maintain, and last week he was telling me he lost weight somehow. grr. i wish i could just magically lose weight without even trying (i know, i know.. he's been golfing more which means a lot of walking and extra cardio which leads to more cals burned but STILL)

i think the difference is purely based on size and job roles. :-) im 6ft 2 and can eat 2500 calories to stay the same (approx). i have sedentary job. if i got a manual handling job i would have to eat 4000 calories just to maintain weight. now on the flip reverse of your problem, try eating 4000 cals healthily! tell me your not bloated lol.

imagine though i am laborourer and eating my current diet, id lose weight so fast i would be in hospital with a month due to mal nutrition, etc. work with what you got, small gals are sexy IMO but your portions need to be small also. saying that though i can live on 1500 cals very easily and still eat a descent amount of food. just no unhealthy snacks.

Completely agree. My boyfriend & I will run together... the exact same distance, pace, & duration. We both wear heart rate monitors that calculate the amount of Calories burned. At the end, he will have burned 3 times for Calories than me. Completely frustrating

My husband is dropping weight like crazy after downloading and using this app. Makes me sick. I am happy for him and proud of him, but my weight does not come off as easy as his does...and I work out more. You are right...Guys suck!

My boyfriend recently decided he was going to "get back into shape." Mind you, he's never really been out of shape, per se, he's a natural athlete and played sports his whole life, but he hasn't seen the inside of a gym in probably a good few years. So this past month he got a membership at my gym and started casually hitting it up. He'll go maybe 3 or 4 times a week, play basketball for a while, then hit up the weights. He eats ok, but not amazing, and drinks beer on the weekends with his friends. Basically, I work about 3 times as hard as he does overall on the whole "eating right and exercising" thing. It has take me months to see progress, but a few weeks of moderate work, and I've already noticed a 6 pack forming on him. WTF. NOT. FAIR.

Ugh! I know what you mean.

My boyfriend is SO unhealthy. He eats crap. as many calories as he wants and doesn't deliberately exercise. Meanwhile, he's skinny as a rail and I've been at a plateau for nine months now, despite working out like crazy and eating extremely healthy and counting calories. Makes me want to kick him!
