  • What’s the calorie need differential between an ectomorph and an endomorph?

    None. Somatotypes are a pseudoscience and have been completely debunked.

    What role does hormone and thyroid play?

    The difference between the “fastest” and “slowest” metabolism in healthy people of the same weight is at most 300kcal per day, which is significant, but couldn’t account for a missing ~3k surplus per day

    There are however several conditions which cause the body to simply not to process food (malabsorption is the term to look up), which is what must have been happening to you.

    It’s very common for people to misestimate their calories by massive amounts, which is why people are expressing doubts, but what you’re describing is a real thing that happens




  • So I was actually just struggling with that myself, also in the Memmy app in case that isn’t clear

    What I did was add my account (again)

    There was no warning or anything, and it populated the list with two of me.

    At that point, a “delete account” option appeared under both of them. So I guess in normal circumstances, it wants you to keep one account around at all times?

    I deleted one of them, and the app basically reinitialized. Both were gone and it showed me the welcome screen.

    I logged back in, and now everything is back to normal


  • The main issue is that BMI is just something for professionals to glance at when dealing with hundreds of patients, not a definitive system that individuals should use to inform their own lifestyle decisions. The reason it’s so popular is because it is really accurate for large populations in that context.

    But what you actually want to figure out, if you want to evaluate whether you should change your weight or lifestyle, is your body fat percentage. The Navy body fat calculator is accurate to within 3%, but requires you to measure your waist, hip, and neck in addition to your height and weight. Still an estimate, but a much much better one than BMI
