I'm a short person. I'm also sedentary and classified as overweight but not obese. As such, my TDEE is around 1600-1700 calories. So, to lose weight at the pace I'd like, I have to restrict myself to 1200 calories a day.

My partner is taller, fatter and has more muscle mass than me. He's talked about wanting to lose weight to get healthier, but when it comes down to it he won't do anything. Which is baffling to me, because his TDEE is high enough that he could eat waaay more than me and still lose weight.

Ugh. It's frustrating.

Yeah, I feel the same. My husband is also a lot taller and heavier than me so he can eat more. I also know the 1200 limit is just too little for me so I try to move more and keep my deficit smaller. The weight loss might be slow this way but at lewit is sustainable. And I enjegoing for an evening walk and lifting. It is doable at 1500 cals for me.
