I don't think it's quite fair that you're being modded down. Actually, yes, that's the main thing.
However, as you age, your calorie expense goes down dramatically at one point... for some it's around 25. Others it's around 35. Others, it never happens! But most people find that at some point they have to seriously decrease their intake of food (without changing their lifestyle otherwise) or else they get a spare tire pretty quickly!
Well actually I did have a slow down at around 23, but when I noticed it, I just increased my work out regiment w/o changing my diet.
To me, I'd rather enjoy my food and then just spend an extra 15 minutes at the gym to balance it out instead of sustaining myself with horrible tasting lumpy green goo
