I don't think I've done the "weight creep up" thing, though--when I've gained it's been pretty rapidly.
I just wanted to argue that it's probably more along the lines of "around maintenance most of the time with occasional 1000-2000 surpluses on special occasions." and then you go and post evidence of that. Meanie.0 -

Every 100g of peanut butter is legally allowed to have up to 30 insect fragments and 1 rodent hair, and is still safe to sell.

That makes it even more interesting. It seems impossible enough that people would be able to eat at maintenance calories within 10 to 20 calories per day, but to stay even closer than that, were it not for the holidays...0 -

More details, OP? Not sure of the point.
I think that 1 to 2 lbs is probably for people who are at their "set weight." Most people who have lost weight gain it back in 2 to 3 years, so they, obviously, would be gaining more than 1 to 2 lbs per year.
I just thought it was interesting that people maintain their current weight so precisely.
So...you basically just made that "statistic" up?
It's a fact that 85% of all statistic found on the internet are made up on the spot.0 -
that also means that burning 7000 calories ( =equal to 2 pound) you would maintain or lose.
Wanders off to more important stuff
ps...what if you dont eat peanut butter?0 -

They don't, they go over by some some days, under by some some other days. It evens out. And then the holidays come.0 -

Wonder how much modern holiday weight gain can be attributed to Amazon. Figure people used to be more active when they had to actually go from store to store to buy everything.0 -
