Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / July 2005Can a man gain weight on 2500 calories?
I know this type of question has been asked many times but would like to get a feedback never the less. i read that its suggested that an adult man consume 2500 calories a day. Now, if this man keeps up with this diet of 2500 calories. Provided that he gets enough vitamins/minerals, carbs, fiber, fat and protein from the diet will he gain weight? Is there a study that proves this? I'm talking about the majority of people, not those who are affected by diseases or genetic disorders. Thanks in advance. >I know this type of question has been asked many times but would like > to get a feedback never the less.

TC People differ greatly in the efficiency with which they convert calories to fat. Officially I'm supposed to need 3000+ calories/day (I'm 6'4"). In fact, I gain weight if I eat more than 1500 or so. I have a neighbour who has to stay below 1000 to avoid getting fat (And by fat, I mean that she was well over 300 lb until she got a sensible doctor who told her she could either voluntarily stop eating so much, or he could arrange for an operation to cut out 80% of her stomach so she wouldn't want/be able to eat so much. She refused the operation, and is doing the best she can to stop eating. It's tough!) |
