5000 calories a day of any food, any reasonable person with absolutely barebone nutritional education knows this. Idk if everyone is just trolling that other dude or what’s happening.
Damn, I didn’t realize the definition of “bad diet” was 5,000 calories per day. I never studied nutrition, so is there some sort of book or organization where that’s defined?
Right, the vast majority of people should not be consuming 5,000 calories per day.
At the same time, a bad diet could be something else, including a 2,000 calorie-per-day diet. And it’s perfectly reasonable to use the term to mean that.
Correct. You’re explaining the fact that a term like “bad diet” can be reasonably deduced. Weird that your initial statement was acting like that’s impossible. Thanks.
Wait, I think you’ve mixed up what my point was about.
Someone said that a bad diet “actually” means something else. One commenter said they were able to outrun a bad diet and someone else said “no that’s impossible because that’s not what a bad diet means”.
They said everyone knows what “bad diet” means because obviously it’s impossible to outrun a bad diet. But that’s not true, because I didn’t know what they meant.
Someone can use nothing but “running” to burn off enough calories to counteract their “bad diet”, particularly if weight is their general goal. Will that make them the peak of physical fitness? No. But conversations about running and diet are often focused around weight gain/loss.
So yes, I know what people generally mean by “bad diet”, but it’s a very broad, general term. That one commenter acted like it has a fixed and specific definition that everybody knows.
Eh, I look at it more as who you’re going to be telling this to. Someone who is fat and starting exercise is never going to have the endurance to burn off their caloric intake. They need to reduce their caloric intake so that their body can physically handle exercise.
But a lot of high caliber athletes have trash diets because caloric intake trumps nutrient needs. It is also the reason why a lot of athletes get fat if they stop exercising since they are used to the trash diets and can no longer burn it off.

It depends on your timing. In 18 months, I went from obese to able to run 5km in under 20 minutes.

And that’s exactly what happened to me when I got injured!
If you’re being a pedant, sure. But of course everyone knows what “bad diet” actually means
What does it mean then?
You’re literally being pedantic. You do know this, don’t you?
I genuinely have no idea what you’re talking about

No, its just obvious that you should not be consuming that amount unless you are a super athlete.
