This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

I think it boils down in a much more concrete sense than that since how many calories you get vs how many you spend is the absolute most important factor and the one thing to make sure you're doing correctly, with everything else being stuff supporting that goal.
If you are underweight and need to gain weight, you need to eat more. How you can achieve that, that's when you can start to get more specific. But still, ya gotta eat more.
You are completely correct. As long as you consume less/more calories than you spend, you will lose/gain weight. How to achieve that is where it can get complicated but I don't think anyone can dispute the fact.
You are both correct. There’s this strange and false assumption that people struggling with weight somehow don’t know this though.
They are incredibly aware. When people ask for advice, comments like OOP’s “eat more” are preaching to the choir.
It’s as aggravating and obvious as “I need advice for a long drive?”—“well make sure you put gas in the car.” Like, duh.
Not only that, but how to gain/lose it in a healthy way.
A 'correct' answer to help lose weight is to try meth. It is not recommended to try meth.
