Does anyone else find people get really triggered when they find out you track calories? Or if they find out you're cutting or losing weight they tell you that you don't need to?

crabs in a bucket
Nah
Most people would either say something like "couldn't be me" or "bless your heart"
no why?
I found out tracking exact calories and macros gets certain level of negative attention, yes
I only pay attention to calories and protein most of the times but there was this one week where I tried to note stuff down and people acted like I was suggesting moon landing was faked
granted, its a bit obnoxious as I'm not a pro athlete and people dislike obnoxious stuff
I agree, people get really upset when you reveal the truth about calories and/or the moon landing being fake. they would much rather remain ignorant.
Not that I'm triggered or anything but you have to be a complete homosexual in order to track your calories or a pro-athlete like that other folk said
I don't make any gains unless I do. I bulk and just get fat or cut and lose loads of strength
Same. I'm really bad at estimating how much I'm eating and if I'm getting enough protein. I either count calories and macros or I start getting skinnyfat again.
fellas is it gay to want to be a healthy weight??
Uhhh what board do you think you’re on?
Look everyone! It's a coping fatty!
You're surrounded by morons.
True. They take it personally. Depending on the setting and situation, I will double down on this and imply they're just lazy, which they are.
This happens most of the time. My sister thinks the simple act of just tracking calories constitutes an "eating disorder".
My innate calorie sense is shit.
No. It sounds like you’re just an insufferable homosexual.
my sister does, she has a fricked up mindset when it comes to weight loss and gets triggered. It's annoying because I'm trying to focus on my own shit and she freaks out if I mention calories at all.
Like whatever do what you want but don't bug me.
My girlfriend throws a fit when I cut and threatens to revert to her eating disorder.
Fat c**ts at my uni are campaigning to have the calories taken off the menu at our coffee shop because it triggers them (bonus laugh: it's a medical school).
Yeah it's usually because if "you" a person that doesn't need to lose weight is tracking macros, why aren't they? It's the same reason people get triggered when they find out you don't eat meat even when they're the ones that asked
This is why I never announce my plans. Acquaintances always turn into concern trolls.
>you don't eat meat
Are you Hindu?
>zoomers need an app to tell them when they're hungry
the west is doomed
I know there is a massive debate about CICO on IST always raging and normies also debate about it
But the reality is the 2 years I autistically tracked calories (and my macros) in 2014 and 2015 was the best I had ever looked in me life at the age of 27/28, I had a 6 pack for the first time, I had veins on my legs, I had veins on my arms, I had veins on my chest, I had veins on my abs. It was due to eating like an autistic robot for 2 years tracking everything to the T, no cheat meals, hitting my macro & calorie goals perfectly everyday.
I ended up quitting doing that because I questioned if it was worth it all to live life like that, just to have an incredible body, and I realized it wasn't.
Though 10 years later now I am starting to feel like I want to experience having a lean and veiny body again
>I know there is a massive debate about CICO on IST
it's literally all trolling. I don't think there's anyone on here who legitimately doesn't believe it works. It's like denying the sky is blue.
They’re just butthurt that they are too lazy to do it, so they take it out on you.
MFP is shit.
>Oh you aren’t eating pre-packaged slop? Let’s estimate your homemade meal’s calories with stunning inaccuracy, or better yet let’s have you enter the quantities of each ingredient for 15 fricking minutes
Eat only when you are hungry. Stop before you are full.
If you make food from scratch and you're still tracking calories you're a lost cause. Tracking calories is mainly for obese people or if you eat out primarily.
I work in a pt clinic, so not really, people are a little surprised that I fast sometimes.
They assume I have an eating disorder, but I eat over 3k calories a day
