However, smaller people should eat more than 10x their lean body mass because their energy loss from heat is greater per pound than for larger people, like me.

The 10x-12x thing has been driving me crazy such that I've started to wonder if I live in the Twilight Zone or Freaksville. My lean body mass is around 85 pounds, total weight 105, age 42. I have to make sure I eat around 1400 calories spread across my first four meals of the day so that I don't eat like eight pigs when meal 5 rolls around. My remaining calories for the day range from 400 to 800, depending on how much exercise I did that day. I've tried the 10x-12x thing several times, thinking that is what should be normal, and I've ended up having miserable hunger, yawning attacks, fatigue, more time spent with icy fingers and toes, and wearing my winter coat indoors (summer included) more hours of the day. My husband and friends never fail to make comments about my food volume but now I am armed with a response. (I low carb for chronic fatique and hypoglycemia reasons.)
