    NGL dude That dietician sounds like a vegetarian feeding you selective facts. Any time someone starts talking about diets for “average individuals” I stop listening because a 5 foot tall middle aged woman and a 6’6" 22yo construction worker shouldnt be consulting the same base line.

    If you seriously want to lose weight and make it stick, go talk to a dietician or research diets that revolve around foods you like, track your macros for a bit and dial in what works for you.

      I did talk to a dietician. My professor was a dietician. Not everyone should be on the same diet. She used an online calorie recommendation tool that was based upon height, weight, and age of each individual. The calorie counts were higher for men, and higher for people who were younger and taller than others. The macros that comprised those calorie counts were about the same percentage for everyone. Many people were still exceeding the amount of recommended protein during our class project. She wasn’t a vegetarian, or so she said. She shared her daily diet with us. There was grilled chicken in her dinners.
