doesnt it increase daily calorie burn by like 300-600? thats pretty huge. girls always complain about how easy it is for guys to lose weight. at 2000 cal/day thats like nearly a whole extra meal. im skinny too and ive always struggled to gain i had to overeat like crazy all full fat everything and tons of cookies and icecream to gain like 15 lbs over a year lol

>testosterone makes you obese!
It does the opposite it makes being lean easier. Just look at/listen to bodybuilders.

depends its surely subjective. your Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis should change to match your new TDEE. idk how fast it the changes would happen tho.

its definitely not a reason not to start and starting will probably give you motivation and willpower to be healthy with food and exercise

all of you skinny bitches should die and give me your eating "disorders" thanks

It's a combination of testosterone, more bone density, typically taller and more muscle mass per unit of weight
So yes what would normally be like 1500 for a woman could easily be 2000 for a man. Especially if it's a man who does labor. I'm not even tall, but when I was working full time I was easily going through like 2500 a day.

You'll never get the numbers exactly right anyway. A lot of it is guessing and estimating. It really just comes down too eat healthier to promote muscle over fat retention, and actually do shit to jumpstart what's otherwise a pretty standard metabolic rate.

yeah but "testosterone makes you obese" is something that a lot of people tell to trans men to try and fearmonger them out of trt.
