I think a 2000-calorie diet is overkill, it's why so many everyone gains weight

When your BMR is 1200, and you don't move or work out, you should probably eat 1200 calories
Hormones and processed foods aside (a whole other level of discussion), people need to be realistic and mindful about what they eat.
Most people, women especially, have this ingrained excuse built into their heads about “needing energy.”
You don't need to eat that way if you aren't really using energy, like old-school women working in the fields.
It's not hard, ultimately, to slim down. The easiest solution is to train your body to eat once daily as a lifestyle. This minimizes opportunities to overeat throughout the day, and after a month or two, most realize they are free from hunger.
TLDR: overeating is WAY more commonplace and is the result of addiction and a lack of responsibility. Flame away.

I get between 1800 and 2200 cals a day just depending. Its all protein and fats. Had some clown at the gym this week ask me what my diet was like and when I told him I pretty much do straight carnivore he asked me where I get my 'energy' and 'recovery' from since I don't eat carbs? I told him fats. He looked at me with a blank face and said you can't 'grow' without carbs!!!! Keep in mind this guy didn't have a single muscle in his body. He wasn't fat or obese he just had no muscle definition what so ever and then I knew why after speaking to him. People are dumb.

I keep telling my wife that but she thinks we have the same caloric needs.
I bust my arse so that I can eat 2500-3000 calories a day and not be fat.

How accurate are BMR calcs?
Harris-Benedict Calc
BMR = 66.47 + (6.24 x BW in lbs) + (12.7 x Height in inches) - (6.755 x Age)
If you use a calc that includes body fat %, and you’re more fit, your BMR is higher.
Straight calc has me around 1,850. If you add in body fat % to the calculation, I’m over 2,000.
The 2,000 cal diet (for men) was probably accurate 50 years ago when people were healthier; today, not so much.

My favorite continues to be the whales that drink 600 calorie Starbucks concoctions AT LEAST once per day, but do 20 minutes of Peloton and can't understand why they're flabby.
