Interesting read about how our bodies adjust

I don’t know, I don’t count calories. I’m 1.80m and 69kg, 13.9% body fat according to my weekly weigh in on my body composition scales. Weight pretty stable.
I don’t diet, and tend to take the approach of fuelling my workouts, to get the most out of them. Your calorie consumption seems high, but you are over 2m and weigh a lot at 100kg. Thus just those numbers will mean you burn more calories than if you were lighter, and shorter.
Do you feel fit and healthy and not carrying lots of body fat? What do you want to achieve body wise? (If anything)
Found this.
I just find the numbers side of food intake very interesting. It's fascinating that two outwardly similar people need radically different amounts of food to sustain the same workload.
IMO 90Kg is not bigMark Beaumont is quite a big guy too, if I recall correctly (around 90kg).

To be fair, he's a bit of a unit.
I suppose it depends on the make-up.

Do they even have camels in Sweden?
I find this, particularly after cycling but not so much after running for some reason.
Haha! No - some sort of fatty Swedish sausage. I usually eat quite cleanly, but this was reduced and looked appealing.
Mark Beaumont is quite a big guy too, if I recall correctly (around 90kg). I just think I'm at the extreme end of the calorie burn spectrum. He's clearly a lot more efficient than me.
I am very warm, a lot of time. I always have been. I think that excessive exothermic tendency causes me to burn more energy than most. Though I revert to a more typical baseline if I'm not exercising.
Slightly off topic - but some years ago I went to the Doc's for a "Men's health Check" so got weighed and all that
The nurses warned me that I had crossed over the line and was now classified as obese (one fo the reasons I got a bike!)
which annoyed me as I didn;t think I was too bad
a day or so later I was due somewhere and it was one of those days
I got ready and came down stairs - realised I was late but had left the car keys upstairs
so RAN up the stairs
came back down - to realise I had left something else upstaits so ran back up and down
just leaving and the pone rang (landline) so answered it and had a short conversation with someone
then left
WHile driving to the appointment I realised that I had just been told I was obese - and today I had RUN up and down stairs twice and then conducted a perfectly normal phone conversation without being short of breath
which doesn't sound to me like someone who is obese!!
so - in my opinion I would rather base things on what you can do - if you can only just get out of you armchair and go upstairs - then assuming there are no other problems causing it (asthma maybe!) then you have a problem
if you can go up and down stairs just fine and talk easily afterwards then you can;t be too bad!
