'you're fat therefore you were eating too much food'... NO

stop making excuses for other people. pretty much everyone who is fat ate too much, didn't move enough. end of story.

Who said anything about making excuses? It's a pretty basic fact that a calorie imbalance is what will lead to excess fat, or lack thereof. No excuses here - just pointing out that 'too much food' if that food is veggies, isn't going to make you fat. Yet a normal size cheeseburger, fries, and shake, when eaten regularly, WILL make you fat (if it's along with other meals in the same day of the same calorie content). Too much 'food', i.e., 'volume/amount', does not make one fat by default. Nothing about excuses, just about people slamming other people for being gluttons, when it doesn't take gluttony to gain weight. You could be a glutton with veggies, and not gain an ounce - replace that with milkshakes, and WHAM!

If you were to eat an excess of calories of all vegetables you'd still gain weight. It's just not likely to actually do that so it's not often discussed.

You could pull this off by drying the veggies maybe.

What did I say in my post that makes you think I was bingeing

This

many days I would eat considerably less (sometimes forgetting to eat)

So you automatically extrapolate that I was bingeing the rest of the time.

I explained more than I "owed" you in my last reply, especially considering that you apparently didn't bother to read it and/or refuse to respond to what I actually say, just what you believe you know.

We're done here.

I noticed a typical pattern and pointed it out. Idk, something about seeing the same pattern, repeated over and over again, gives me the power to predict the whole thing by only seeing one part of it. I can do other tricks, like identifying individuals even when their faces are partially covered.

Maybe you're a special snowflake.

You fit a pretty predictable pattern around here too. And it looks a little bit like a snowflake... a pink one.

I'm so sick of seeing this 'logic' splashed over the boards. I ate less when I was big than I do now. I just ate different, more calorific food. When people say they are struggling to get to calories it's sometimes because they are genuine about doing this and they have restricted themselves to lean meat, veges, and not much else, all really low fat and low cal, because that is what they heard for years and they don't know that there is another, more effective way.

People being sanctimonious and throwing about the 'you must know how to eat because you're fat' line is ridiculous. Everyones scenario is a little bit different and while the same solution (in variations) will work for everyone, NOT everyone is fat because they ate too much bulk of food, their balance was simply off. Or, like me, they had an accident and that, coupled with a thyroid problem and (at the time) ignorance of BMR led me to put on weight.
