Body frame does not matter,it is the number of calories you take in compared to the calories burned.
An active person needs to take in more calories than an inactive person in order to avoid burning muscle tissue.
If your normal daily activity burns 3,000 calories a day,you should be able to take in 3,000 calories a day and not gain any weight.
Do not consume “empty” calories-soda pop,potato chips.
Eating balanced meals,drinking lots of water and exercise is best.

It’s the muscle mass that decides the amount of calories burned/ needed. Take the ultimate example: a bodybuilder vs. a runner. The bodybuilder is heavy w/ muscle, and lifting weights eats up calories like crazy. And the runner? Compared to the major weightlifter, the total amount of muscle actually IN him is considerably less, thus resulting in less cals needed to maintain his body weight. For the average person, it’s usually true that taller/ bigger framed ppl need more cals because they naturally have more muscle. It depends on the body type’s proportion of muscle.

Yes, this is because a calorie is the amount of energy needed to heat up one gram of water by one degree celcius. A bigger person contains more water in their body, therefore needing more energy (from calories) to heat it up. This is also the same for exercise, a 90KG person with 15% fat will burn more calories running for 30 mins at 6mph than someone doing the same run but weighing 60KG with 15% fat.
