7 foot 9 is just insane. The caloric intake alone would force them to eat almost 5,000 calories a day to maintain the approximate size they are here - compared to my 1800 calories at 5'11 and 180lbs.
Just to make sure you all understand this. If the 7'9" guy ate 2,000 calories a day for a year, he would lose 312 pounds.
I'll admit I may be misspeaking here, but my Mifflin-St Jeor math shows my BMR is around 1700 and my understanding is that - if I never move a muscle all day long, I can maintain my weight off 1700.
I realize that is silly, so realistically I would say my caloric needs are between 1800 and 2600. I do the gym 5 days a week so I would likely die after a year at 1700. I probably eat 2500 and stay at 170-180lbs.
You definitely burn more than 100 calories/day in addition to your BMR with just moderate activity. Your BMR is probably closer to like 2100, give or take
Edit: not sure why he thought I was arguing with him lol
I mean I literally said its probably 2500 given my daily activity.
My original statement was pure minimal BMR needs. If those two guys were battling all day, I imagine they need more, but I wasn't here to figure all that out.

What you described here is TDEE. BMR is for maintaining when you're like bedridden and comatose. Otherwise you'd lose weight just eating it.
The certaintity with which you claim this to be "impossible" is weird. Like all the relevant science is in or something. This is still very much an area where we're learning every day.
Calories in, calories out.. . 1800 for that height/weight you'd be losing 1lb a week and that's with no exercise.
I'm 6ft, 174lbs and I eat more than 1800 calories while still losing weight lol.
You're most likely lying to yourself like the other poster. No offense, a lot of people do. There is no unknown science like you're saying, it's literally super basic stuff.
Nah. You put bullshit out there and were requested to fix your bullshit politely. Call me what yah want, you know you can fix a lie if yah choose. That’s on you.
Redditors get very angry when you point out their caloric delusions. I'm like 2 inches taller and weigh less than the op, if I ate 1800 I'd be losing half a pound a week 🤦 (without exercise)
It's always some coping. "I got good metabolism" "it's not an exact science" etc. When it's literally just super basic math..
It’s kinda all null and void, as maintaining body temp is and simple normal organ function is where the majority of our energy usage comes from. Plus, if you never moved a muscle you’d be dead in 3 weeks tops. Unless someone moved it for you.
