I don't mean she has defied the laws of thermodynamics. Obviously she has a higher TDEE and although she enjoys food, tends to eat below it. I offered this as a counter example to the "I cannot lose weight" moaners and groaners we see so often. She had vitamin levels checked as part of her lab panels and they were all normal (she showed me as she was genuinely upset and questioning the doctor) ❤️

Just my take, I guess, but I'm the same size and weight. I'm a social eater, so people tend to think I eat a lot all the time but really when I'm by myself I can't really be bothered to eat that much at all. Or, she just thinks she eats a lot compared to her family or culture and has no idea how much fat people really eat...

Not obvious at all. She hasn't done a count yet, so we have no reason to believe her TDEE is any higher than would be predicted for her height+weight.

I offered this as a counter example

It's not a counter example. Hams use anecdotes like this to support their theory that some people are "naturally thin" and therefore they are "naturally fat."
