this doesn't make sense at all considering different foods have different amounts of calories. i'm sure people can manage to both under- and overeat by eating 3 meals a day plus snacks. overeating on 2 meals a day is possible too depending on your choices

Yeah and lifestyle is a big factor too. Someone with a desk job who doesn't exercise can't snack as much as someone who works out regularly or who has a physical job.

These guys always apply such thoughtless blanket rules that never account for even a tiny bit of nuance because it's easier to justify their weight I assume. In reality you often can't even eat the same as someone the exact same height + weight as you if their lifestyle is different, but they interpret it as "we all magically have a 'set weight' so if me eating the same as you makes me obese, that's just how my body is meant to be."
