India-KXIP fan Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 I am at 27.5 BMI ..am I a culprit stealing poor ppl's food? You can be 10% bodyfat but have a BMI of that much. Stupid machine doesn't differentiate between lean mass and fat. Bodybuilders are usually obese according to this even though they are very lean. Other than that obese people should stop being so lazy lol, bodytype influences how much fat you have but shouldn't be an excuse. Just cut 3-4 things from your regular diet and that is enough of a reduction in energy intake (cals or Kilojules, 4Kj=1cal) to allow your body to burn what it takes in and not store excess. Remember every gram of protein/carbs = 4cal and fat = 9 cal. The older you get the slower your metabolism. People around 30 burn usually 2000 cals a day I'd say. So eat 1700 to lose weight, 2000 to maintain, 2300 to bulk (with weight training) or eat 2000 and run to lose weight. Simple as that. If you excercise regularly it's gonna be higher and if your young higher as well.

ganeshran Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 What the chocolate fudge! People in 3rd world countries cannot get food because their govts are full of scumbag criminals who couldnt care less about the poverty/education/infrastructure/electricity/irrigation etc, not because people from richer countries are eating too much. History tells us that prosperity/human health has exploded in the last 150 years after the Industrial revolution for those nations that are willing to invest in themselves. Even as the population of the world has doubled/even trebled in the last 100+ years, life expectancy has sky-rocketed as well, clearly indicating that there is no shortage of resources in this planet, for those who are willing and able to harness it. My heart goes out to the poor people of the world, but If I am going to a restaurant to enjoy food, I am not going to wriggle my heart with manufactured guilt just because there are lots of poor kids in this world. this.
