My boyfriend is an idiot

ok guys i need your help.

 

No matter how many facts i throw at my boyfriend he still does not believe that you need a cretin amount of calories JUST to burn fat.

he think thats just starving yourself and working out really hard is better.

He never had an issue with weight so he doesnt get it, hes not like bothering me about how im doing things(the right way) he just doesnt get it.

so i need every article, link, etc you guys can give me so i can show him.

I would love to print out 50 pages of things...going see...see see im right :)

20 years ago I used to work with a man that ate nothing all morning, went to play squash vigorously for an hour at lunchtime and then returned to the canteen to sink a whopping great plateful of meat pie and chips followed by puddings with custard. Whenever eyebrows were raised he'd rationalise it that 'he'd just played squash and could justify the extra energy'.    

I met him recently and he must be about 300lbs.....

Well,

I am not sure I have anything useful to add other than reiterate what the other members have said before. But in his stupidity your boyfriend might actually end up getting to his goals depending on what his current diet looks like.

While I definitely dont support starvation, I remember a while ago I was on a ketogenic diet. It was a little similar to your boyfriend's current position. Eat rather little, but what ever little you do eat, keep the Carbs to an extreme low, high proteins and high fat ( yeah you read that right ). This forces the body to use fat as its source of energy rather than using carbohydrates and the body starts producing ketones.

If done properly, ketogenic diet would help you lose trememndous amount of body fat in a short time. the problem with keto diet is, its extremely hard to maintain, takes a lot of effort and a lot of patience, and you are going to feel tired and lethargic all the time but you can't let that stop you from working out.

Other than that, ideally speaking a normal person would require atleast 2000 calories a day for maintainence alone. My diet averages around 3000 to 3500 calories on an average day. I am around 6ft1 weigh 212 lbs and have 8% body fat. I weight train for 90 to 120 minutes a day with 40 minutes hi intensity cardio. I compete  in BB.
