[–] Akagigahara@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children) The way I interpret the comment is that they are saying "If you would eat normally, you couldn't be that thin." It's a reference to the fact that energy cannot be destroyed, only transformed into a different form. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] MrBobDobalina@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) Which would only make sense if every human body processed every molecule ingested in the exact same way permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) Not really. Metabolism changes don't account for that large of a swing in your BMR unless you have a thyroid issue (which is treatable). I've been in the same situation as the dude trying to justify that body type, and he's just not eating enough to be a healthy weight. You can't be 6'6" and eat the same amount of food as everyone else.

There are a lot of factors to body weight, with studies suggesting a large genetic factor (40-70%. While theoretically you can (almost) always eat more/less and it'll affect your weight accordingly, the difficulty of actually doing that will vary heavily by individual. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago It's something you have to train your body for. permalink fedilink source parent [–] HorseWithNoName@lemm.ee -1 points 2 years ago It's a reference to the fact that energy cannot be destroyed, only transformed into a different form.

It's amazing what people think they can "interpret" about another whole entire anonymous human being they know literally nothing about, other than "thin."
