    Are you still growing (teenager) or are very active or both? Calorie needs vary based on stuff like that, so if you’re discussing with people above 25 who are only mildly active they wouldn’t be able to burn away those calories as easily. Our base metabolic rate slows down too.

      I’m around 30, actually. I used to be quite active, yes, but I’ve been sitting on an injury for almost a year now and even lost weight in that time eating the same amount (I still track every meal, so’ll still be in the habit once I’m fully healed).

      Otherwise I’m healthy, even got checked for stuff like thyroid problems.
