that's the main part of it, yeah, but people also drink less water and exercise less. drinking water helps to not overeat, but fuck man, my hispanic ogre genes took over in my mid 20s and now i don't really have a limit to what i can eat per day. my stomach just packs that shit away to who knows where.  my theoretical max is crazy, but i usually get like upper 2000s kcals to low 3000s kcals a day. i've had like 6000 kcal a day only a few times when bulking, but that was pushing my limit only silver lining for me is that i'm tall skinny fat. 6'3.5 245 ibs, so losing 25 pounds (which is doable) would make me look respectable
