Friend Doesn't Know He Overeats One of my friends works out a lot but is in smallfat territory (BMI ~27). Yesterday he told me about the second lunch he had (a Chipotle burrito I'd estimate at 900 calories) because he needed to fuel his workout after work. Even after the mammoth burrito, he had dinner when he got home, and told me it was all good because he's "bulking" and couldn't lift if he didn't eat beforehand. He's gained at least 30 pounds in the past year (I don't think much is muscle) but doesn't think he's fat. He claims to know how much he needs to take in to gain muscle, but the pounds seem to be piling onto his waist. Why do fat people always overestimate the amount they "need" to eat? Hopefully I can convince him to lower his intake to match his TDEE.
