Dude weights about 250 pounds. Not super fat, but definitely has a gut and a lot of body fat.

I genuinely do feel bad for people with low metabolism and poor genetics.

He's underestimating his daily caloric intake. or he was much fatter and is slowly losing it.

All depends on what exactly he's eating and how much exercise he does

No it doesn't. Even if he doesn't exercise, 1200 is going to lose weight.

Pretty sure that's physically impossible. He would burn more than that many calories just doing nothing.

You might be right, i just took his word for it. I can only give my own anecdote. He always seems to eat well in front of me. Salads for lunch. But you could be right, maybe as soon as the doors and curtains close in his house, he eats like shit in high quantities.

But there is such thing as bad genetics. Two people eating 1200 calories are not going to be exactly the same thing. You could be eating low calories and weigh 100+ points more than someone eating the same intake.

That would just mean they started at different weights when they began losing. But both will lose

Even if he sits on his ass 24/7, he should be losing weight if that calorie intake is true.

The body can lower its metabolism if it's used to a regular deficit. I recommend he try intermittent fasting. The times of eating without withholding food keep the metabolism high, and the times of fasting burn off fat.

I don't think its phsyically possible for a 250 pound man to maintain his weight on 1,200 calories a day. I bet he is lying or can't properly count.

Remember: metabolism
remember: metabolism's don't make you exempt from the laws of thermodynamics

your friend is most definitely eating more than 1200 calories. I'm not saying he's a liar, but he might be unaware of it
people are very bad at determining portion sizes. for example, most people who think they're eating 1 tablespoon of peanut butter are probably eating close to 2

if it was like once a month it wouldn't be that damaging. but too often would definitely kill the diet.

Metabolism doesn't really make that big of a difference in weight loss. There's rarely more than a 5-10% difference in basal metabolic rate between people. If your friend was really maintaining 250lbs on 1200 calories he'd die quickly because there's no way a body of that size could power basic bodily functions without dipping into fat reserves for energy.
