    For arguments sake

    You've come to the right thread so.

    For arguments sake, my typial diet:

    ~60g oatbran with non-sweetened almond milk,
    chicken breast + salad for lunch,
    dinner would be a MOUNTAIN of veg (broccoli, carrots, peas, cauliflower) or sometimes I have buttered cabbage, + protein like salmon fillet (sometimes 2)/+ boiled eggs.., steak once a week, tin of tuna, chicken breast...I use coconut oil to cook everything in
    snacks include fage yoghurt (full fat or 2%)...I sometimes have 2 a day (after luch and after dinner with some fruit as a desert)...other snacks would be 45-60g of non-salted nuts like cashews/walnuts...fruit I have tried to cut down on but would still munch through 4-5 pieces a day like 2x apples/1 orange/banana (some days only)/pear...I limit dark choc bar to once or twice a weekend as a treat
    Drinks include coffee, green/herbal tea and water mostly. I don't weigh or count calories but a while back I used MFP for a fw weeks, and calories fluctuated to approx 1600-2200

    HER typical diet (from what I see anyway):
    no breakfast except black coffee, or sometimes one of those cereal breakfast bars,
    lunch would be soup or lentils, with 1 piece of bread..
    dinner would be a fruit smoothie, 1 piece of chocolate cake, large bag of crisps (60g~),some sugared/salted nuts...If she cooks dinner, it may be breaded cod or more lentils with fried parma meat stuff. Drinks include coffee/herbal tea/water/fruit juice..she might get a takeaway once a week but would never eat a full portion and would put half away for next day...from what I see, she does portion control and eats v small amounts of crappy foods...whereas I would eat much larger volumes albeit 'healthier'. I have a sedentary desk job whereas she would be on her feet a lot. We're bot slim...bt she has developed fat around her middle. I don't know about calories for her so perhaps I've undersetimated as someone suggested. Her portions would be v small though.

    Macro composition affects how the calories are used. I thought we clarified this earlier? Calories in calories out dictate fat loss though.
