I've been chatting to the guys in my LL group who are on maintenance about who many calories a day they can eat without putting on weight and have been quite shocked to discover that it seems to be as low as 1200-1400 calories a day.
From what I have gathered, men should need between 2000 - 2500 calories a day, and I have heard that 1500 calories a day is a weight loss diet for men.
Our LLC has told us that the idea that some people can eat what they like and not get fat is a myth - the idea being that we get fat because we eat more than people who don't get fat (or do a lot less exercise)
It makes more sense to me to assume that some people just need fewer calories a day than other people..
Any ideas? I'd be interested to know how few calories other maintainers (men and women) need to keep their weight stable
