A large McDonalds soda in Europe is 20 or 22oz. A large McDonalds soda here is what? 32oz? 44oz? A 44oz Coke is 550 calories. ---

That’s 1800 calories. I’d either eat a medium pepperoni + ricotta pizza (about 1500 calories) or a double cheeseburger and large onion rings (about 1000 calories) for dinner. tack on slim jims, shmiscuits, red bulls, et cetera (probably another 1000-1500 calories a day)… I probably consumed about 4000 calories a day, not including alcohol and desserts. I skated a few times a week, I rode my bicycle all the time, and I used to do crunches and push ups until i was sick, but I went from 130 (weight when I started college) to 215 (weight this past July) in five years. I’m down to 185 now, with no changes other than those to my diet. Exercise is definitely important, but I think diet is moreso. ---

yes a diet is a crucial part of the whole ordeal but its not how much you eat its WHAT you eat…i take in approx 6500-7000 calories per day with 400 grams of protein and about 400-550 grams of carbs. so it can definitely be done without getting fat, esp considering from about 8am to 930pm im either sitting in a chair at work or sitting in a chair at school. ---

> [@ShalerPunk](#): > > right, but you’re in a muscle-building regimen. your diet couldn’t possibly apply to a “normal” person. right…thats why MOST people do / should base their diet off a 2000 calorie type diet. which with minor amounts of activity should be more than sufficient. ---

> [@2toneishot](#): > > right…thats why MOST people do / should base their diet off a 2000 calorie type diet. which with minor amounts of activity should be more than sufficient. you just proved my point. NO ONE follows that 2000 calorie shit. Normal people eat when they’re hungry, and they eat what they crave. People crave fats and sugars because they taste good. Those fats and sugars are delivered in high calorie foods. That’s why it’s our diet that is the problem. Americans are weak when it comes to food-related willpower. You can’t be a whiny bitch and say it’s the food companies’ fault, because they’re just giving people what they want; it’s not their fault that everyone overindulges. Americans need to grow some willpower and realise that they can put the other half of the Dr Pepper in the fridge to drink later…and that they don’t need the two extra patties that a triple whopper would give them…and that a can of Pringles isn’t meant to be eaten in one sitting. Before anyone accuses me of being an asshole, I’m guilty of a lot of this food-related lack of willpower as well. ---

> [@fshowcars](#): > > what if you don’t care about calorie counting? then just make sure you do a lap around your chair every hour…hahah jk. then chances are your in good shape anyway and dont’ change anything and youll be alright. if youve never had a weight problem before unless you get a medical condition chances are with a semi active lifestyle youll end up being fine for life anyway. ---

you have to take metabolism into effect too. I’m not lazy, but I don’t eat great and I’m fat. I’m not the most active person around but my eating habits and amount of activity far excedes most people I know and I’m twice their size. :dunno: [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gametap-anyone-tried-it-worth-it/177966.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gametap-anyone-tried-it-worth-it/177966.md?page=3)
