Body size and calories intake.

It's is very clear that a person who weighs 350 pounds has a different calorie intake than a person who weighs 130 pounds, but weight is not the only considering factor. Often times you see someone who weighs over 300 pounds having 1200 calories a day, and they wonder why they see no difference in a shift in their weight. There is no simple answer  that works for everyone because of difference in body composition(fat to muscle ratio). and metabolic rate. In order to burn calories you must remember to get enough calories. What works for one person does not necessarily mean it will work for you. Don't try to compare yourself to someone and say that 'I am doing everything she is doing but she is losing weight and I am not". Your job is to maximize your body fat burning mode to get results with minimal  negative consequences.
