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.

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.
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...
They don't, they go over by some some days, under by some some other days. It evens out. And then the holidays come.
True, but that "it evens out" is what makes it interesting, when you consider that these people aren't tracking how much they eat.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.
I love this. It's not sugar; it's amazon!
Although amazon's rise may actually correspond with the flattening out of the rise in the obesity rate, in the US anyway. Maybe before people were stress eating due to the horrors of crowded shopping malls.0 -

But I use the time I save to go on a bike ride, or hike, or swim, or do something fabulously active!0 -
I don't know what they put in peanut butter in America?! You guys seem obsessed with it.0

An average person may very well be even undereating those 10 or 100 or even 250 calories on a typical day... But when it comes to going out, or even better, holidays...

actuallyAdults tend to gain weight progressively through middle age. Although the average weight gain is 0.5 to 1 kg per year, this modest accumulation of weight can lead to obesity over time.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23638485
and over 30 years that is 30-60lbs...so we are actually saving ourselves...we are being preventative instead of reactive.
and this stat only applies to those who aren't logging accurately with a food scale...cause those of us who use a food scale won't be gaining that weight...but you will.

Not sure if weight gain or weight loss is that linear...TimothyFish wrote: »Most people gain 1 to 2lbs per year. That means that, on average, people overeat by only 10 to 20 calories per day. For those of you who like to weigh stuff, that is between 1.7 and 3.4 grams of peanut butter per day.
