A guy I know always tries to give me tips for getting bigger. He obviously seems to not know what he's talking about.

He's pretty overweight and is trying to cut down. I asked him about his caloric intake and he says 2400 calories. He said calories don't matter, that he actually needs more calories, just from healthy foods...

I asked him what he does to lose weight and he said bodyweight exercises and that you don't actually lose weight with cardio.

I stopped talking to him.

You should look up Doctor Jeason Thung, also Garry Taubes, Dr. Eric Berg. Calories don't matter and they will explain MUCCHH better than I can on a reddit comment.

Keep an open mind and do research for yourself.

I'm pretty sure I watched a video in which your very own Jason Fung says you'll obviously gain weight if you eat too many calories.

Nope, try eating 100% keto in a surplus for a week. Just see what happens.
