dude B - 5'8", 150LBs. he's also a former deadlift enthusiast and is 10% stronger than joe.

assuming equally sedentary lifestyles, how many calories do you think dude B burns per day?

If they really act *exactly* the same dude B would maybe burn 2010 calories per day, eg. not much difference. That however is not realistic and it's been shown that very small behaviors (eg. how much do you twitch, do you sit upright or slouch, etc) affect BMR/RMR greatly.
