"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Everyone knows you need to burn more calories than you take in to reduce body fat. But my weight lifting and cardio combined burns about 400-600(?) calories..
Im trying to take in 2000+ calories a day, I dont understand how this can work if im eating that much and burning so little, it seems to me that the calories i burn working out will never catch up to how much Im eating
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Well you're leaving some stuff out of the equation.

Calories are burned not only when you're working out.
Breathing, heating the air you take in, and whatnot expends energy and thus calories.

Digestion expends calories, warming the food in your stomach releasing enzymes and such to break down the food. Your stomach churning the food.

Your muscles also have a resting calory consumption.
That's why the more muscle you have the more you can eat without getting fat.

Hope it helps.

I know, its your BMR, how many calories you burn sitting on your ass all day (thanks to Throttle) mine (16 yrs, 6 foot 2, 284lbs) is 2666 calories, if I remember correctly, im supposed to subtract 500(?) from this number, which leaves me around 2100 cals a day for weight loss.
