Almost 3700 calories per day for the average American... what the fuck?
I'm 185cm, with an average BMI and I'm eating ~2000 calories and I'm active
No wonder you're all fat as fuck.
For God's sake 3700 calories is more than a full pizza!

That would be cut to half if they didn't drink sugary sodas.

I've never understood this American' s addiction to sugary drinks, are they children or what?

No, you don't understand, obesity is genetic

That's why food subsidied are a bad thing in certain cases

There's definitely a genetic factor, but it's obviously much lesser than just the calorie count per day. Calories are just thermodynamics. It's *literally* impossible to get fat with a sensible amount of calories per day, it's contrary to the laws of physics.

Litterally capitalism
The Japs sip green tea, Brits sip black tea, Italians sip espresso, Americans sip Coca-Cola™ because it's what Coca-Cola™ is advertising and wants them to consume

what's your weight frenchanon?

185cm - 80kg

Yeah I think the genetics comes in to how big your appetite is

I am 196 88kg

that's average BMI

This
It's advertised everywhere and people don't know how many health issues it can cause. They know it's not good for you but they don't know the obscene amount of calories in it.

No no no, it's the high fructose corn syrup that's making me fat!

>tfw 175cm and 120kg

>For God's sake 3700 calories is more than a full pizza!
And? I eat a large pizza 2-3 times per week AND dinner at home after that.
191 cm
89 kg.

I don't know how anyone manages that, everytime I see a fat, i drink a liter of water and want to take a run.

>literally more likely to die than a 60-year-old guy
BRAVO

that's like eating a pizza every single day, you should intuitively grasp the health implications

It is easier to understand if you ever have been sugar addict and usa is worlds corn syrup capital

It's not just genetics that play into that. It's cultural to a large extent. People here eat very quickly and portion sizes are pretty big. I've been to two other countries (Italy and Israel), and neither of them eat like we do. Italy in particular has a very different food culture.

I eat when I'm hungry. Simple as that.

so am I, but it doesn't change anything to my point...

>People here eat very quickly and portion sizes are pretty big.
I doubt you get that many calories just from the portion size

Food is the least of my worries, my diet is one of the last thing I expect will kill me in the end.
I'm a mountain biker and supermoto/snowmobile rider, plus I work as an industrial electrician. And I use tobacco (snus) on the daily. Something's gonna kill me, might as well eat tasty stuff before I kick the bucket and jump off the world.

Its not just apetite
Some people are more efficient in storaging energy
But claiming genetics as reason for being fat is same as claiming genetics as reason for stupidity. Even it is one thing.

It's part of it, since it adds up. Portion sizes here have been increasing since the 1970s or so. I'd guess that portions here are probably 1.6 times larger than portions in places like Italy.

As a person who keeps as fit as possible, along with my fiancee. I can't even imagine eating more than 2500 on days where I both do heavy lifting and biking/kayak/climbing/etc. I have been to Japan, Germany and Norway and saw how food is discussed and understood in each place. I can also see how 2500 could be possible if you ate breakfast, then lunch, then dinner. But wtf? near 4k?

Is that like a 2liter soda a day, while eating out for lunch and dinner, while also eating cereal?

Yeah, it's totally nuts and THAT'S THE AVERAGE

Heavy work can easily take energy need close to 3000 and winter even over that

Yeah there's nature and nurture. My dad is legitimately obese and I think I have the same eating thing, but luckily got on top of it by becoming aware of the calories in shit.
Yeah that but you still have to use energy to do the same things. All the people that eat like shit and stay skinny almost all have tiny appetites
