Sometimes health or hormone issues other times processed food which puts stress on your body. If you have a lot of trauma in your life your body may store fat as a security measure. So many facts

You don’t actually burn that many calories through activity. Your body is a perfected machine for conserving calories. Think about it how would a hunter gatherer go about their day doing physical activity if you burned calories that easily? Exercise is almost always good but your body doesn’t let go of those calories easily and when you exercise strenuously your body reduces other caloric outputs; that’s why chronic inflammation reduces when you exercise

But if you’re working out a lot you should be burning a lot of calories so how much are you eating that you still aren’t in a deficit?😭

Well I’m not talking about people that have just been working out for like a month but there are people who have been working out for a long time with just no progress and I don’t get how. I mean yes mathematically I know it’s all about calories but that has to be a lot of calories in to make up for the calories out. And I didn’t mean you specifically, just in general.
