And they're 100% delusional about the calories this adds. They'll say they "eat healthy chicken and vegetables" all the time and believe they're eating ~300 calorie meals but ignore the fact that they've coated it all to hell in sticks of butter and cups of sugar/oils and loaded up on monstrous portion sizes amounting to well over 2000+ calories. My obeast parents snicker under their breath when I tell them that I eat MUCH fewer calories than they do to maintain my weight because they see the huge portions I eat. Well, when you're eating actual fresh vegetables and lean meats as the bulk of your meals, you can eat quite a bit. Volume-wise, I probably consume 2x or more food than they do, but calorie-wise, I don't even eat half of what they do. I don't understand how they can think I have a "fast metabolism" when I'm supposed to have inherited it from their fat asses... They just see lots of food on my plate and less (but grease-packed) food on theirs. No concept of CICO whatsoever.
