Is eating 3000 calories a day bad?

3 views

Okay, so, is 3000 calories a day bad? Honestly, its completely dependent. For me, as a moderately active person, that might be enough to build muscle. But everyones different! Its frustrating how generic that sounds, I know, but its true. I think the best bet is to talk to someone who actually knows their stuff, like a nutritionist. They could help me figure out my ideal calorie intake, not just some random number.

Is 3000 calories a day bad? Well, that’s a loaded question, isn’t it? I mean, for me, 3000 calories might actually be okay. I try to hit the gym a few times a week, you know? So, building some muscle, that sort of thing, 3000 calories could even be… not enough? Maybe?

But then again, my friend Sarah, she’s tiny and she has a desk job. 3000 calories for her? Whoa. Way too much, I’m guessing. See, that’s the thing. It’s so frustrating how everyone’s just… different! It’s like trying to find one-size-fits-all shoes. It just doesn’t work! Remember those platform sneakers everyone wore in the 90s? Awful. They looked good on nobody. This calorie thing feels kinda like that.

Honestly, I think I read somewhere that the average woman needs something like 2000 calories and a man needs closer to 2500. But even that is a huge generalization, right? It’s like, who are these “average” people anyway? I feel like everyone’s got something unique going on. Like, maybe they have a thyroid issue or they’re training for a marathon, or… I don’t know… they just have a super fast metabolism!

So, yeah, my two cents? Don’t just google it. Find a real person, a nutritionist or a dietitian, someone who actually knows what they’re talking about. They can help you figure out what your body needs. Because, let’s be real, 3000 calories for one person could be perfect, and for another, a total disaster.
