3500 cals is a pound of fat is sometimes wrong and you need more exercise, sometimes eating strictly set calories fails and you need to hoof the rice etc. into you.
Famine eating or a bad diet low on fruit, veg and other "real" food always fails. But I don't see myself eating boring af bodybuilding food all year either... Blegh.
7% body fat.. wow that's very low :)
I guess runners and cycling physique? I wouldn't mind more muscle but after near a year of bulking...Well.. ;)

You probably did best bailing out at 4 minutes 😂 it was confusing as hell.
Around 8min 50 he finally elaborates that his main client base is people who have been on various diets and already eating very little. So probably going "clean eating " with very low calories, and ending up missing loads of micro nutrients. Raiding the cupboards when the cravings start. So yeah they probably need to eat more, but more varied food... There's no point in forgetting about the calories, if those extra calories are empty and still don't include the nutrients your body needs and the cupboard raiding continues.
Being around 7%body fat, apparently I'm one of the bookends to his broad group of people, so I need to count count calories to loose weight. Ironically I'm only tracking them out of curiosity and I can usually quite instinctively hit my protein gramms macro and most nutrients whilst balancing 50% carbs and the remainder of fat, to be 100-400 calories short when updating my fitness pal at the end of the day. I've just updated today's food including what's for tea and it's looking like-
140g protein
444g carbs 😂 53%
111g fat
Total 3434 calories which will almost balance out a 21 mile offroad run and leave me 296 calories short.
With trying to add body mass, your the bookend at the other end of his spectrum. So he's saying you need to count cals to make sure your eating enough.
So everyone except us skinies gets to eat more, yet the lifters will gain weight and everyone else will loose weight. What a load of shit! 😕
