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.

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