"I ate in a calorie deficit but didn't lose weight."
No, you did not.
Jeremy Ethier ran a small metabolism experiment using astronaut-grade accuracy.
What he found was that out of 9 people, not one had a fast or slow metabolism. Everyone burned almost exactly what their body weight predicted.
The most interesting part he found was that most people underestimated how much they ate by 500–1,000+ calories a day.
A skinny guy who couldn't gain weight guessed 2,000. He was actually eating 3,300. An overweight girl who wanted to lose weight guessed 1,800. She was at 3,000.
Not one had an abnormal metabolism. Every single one had a tracking problem.
Studies actually show people underestimate their daily calorie intake by 20–50%, with the gap widest among those who need accuracy most.
People are not broken, but their tracking is. Fix that and the math takes care of itself.
Just In: Conversations have started about @ShamsCharania’s future, and discussing whether the ESPN Senior NBA Insider’s best fit is staying on Giannis’ All-Star Celebrity team or elsewhere.
@AriDrennen This is the most flawed argument I’ve ever seen. I’m sure you’re smarter than that. Yes, the strongest 5% of women can be stronger than men that don’t lift. Hope this helps

🙄The fringe idea that we all have a 'gender identity' that may or may not match our biological sex is the whole point of this discussion. Trans activists act as though the existence of 'gender identity' is a settled, self-evident point, when to the vast majority of the world it's unevidenced, quasi-religious, pseudoscientific nonsense, which has been imposed top down on our society with serious consequences for vulnerable women and troubled youth in particular.
Meaningful discussion about competing needs and rights cannot happen inside an elitist ideological bubble where everyone is forced to adopt gender ideology's approved jargon, accept its self-contradicting slogans as fact and pretend fact-light assertions and feeble sophistry are critical thinking.
You tell us to 'educate' ourselves, by which you mean, 'adopt our beliefs unquestioningly,' but at this point, most of us know your arguments off by heart. These include, but are not limited to: feelings trump facts and unless we agree we're 'erasing people from existence'; women and girls aren't definable entities, so why should they be entitled to their own sports and single-sex spaces; clownfish and people with DSDs mean sex is 'on a spectrum' and 'woman' is a set of stereotypes associated with the female sex class, so it doesn't matter if you've got a penis, if you identify with those stereotypes you're 'valid'.
The reason we haven't been won over by these talking points and remain so tragically 'uneducated' isn't that we've failed to grasp the sophistication of your world view. It's that we think you're talking unadulterated bullshit and making fools of yourselves.
Hillary screams into the mic, "DEPORT THEM!!! THEY'RE GONE!!!" Democrats cheer, media praises her "tough stance on border security" as she demands they need to learn English.
Oh, how times have changed... 🤔🤔🤔
'We must not publish a study that says we're harming children because people who say we're harming children will use the study as evidence that we're harming children, which might make it difficult for us to continue harming children.'
