If you are gaining 10 pounds a year at 2000 cal a day, what makes you think 2000 cal a day is right for you? Sounds like you are overeating for what your body needs.

Just because the label says men should get 2000 cal a day does not mean that's what you personally need. I need around 1200-1400 and typically stay in that range without too much trouble. I've done it for so long it's just habit now.
