(before reading i want to point out that "diet" in german refers to a shorter time in which you try to lose weight and not a whole way of eating etc. )
I just read a german article by a dietician (who mainly writes articles for a magazine) whos statement was "why calorie counting isnt working".
I think i dont need to argue on why that is bullshit but her first reason why it isnt working is:
After the Diet, the YoYo-Effect kicks in as soon as you eat "normal" again.
Dont get me wrong, i often gain weight after diets, but thats not because i eat normal...
thats because i eat like i ate before.
And i assume thats the case for most people...
I know that there are many theories about your body wanting to regain the fat or wants to compensate for the time in which you did your diet, but whatever you think about that is up to you.
I think if you use the "normal" calorie values for men/women with your height, and add maybe a few hundreds if youre very heavy, than you should be good.
