Dug, I'm a big guy. Even when I joined the army and was eating very little, and running 15-20K per day, I STILL weighed 200 pounds. Some people gain weight VERY quickly, some cannot at all. I have a friend who has to eat about a half-dozen protein bars a day to stay at 140.
But I agree, the fast-food cramming fatties are repulsive.
200 lbs is not a big guy if you are 5 ft 11 or taller as most men are.
I'd venture to say that 230+ is starting to get big..
Pop American standards of obesity FTL
Thats your opinion. My neighbor is 6 ft 1 and weights 210 and looks healthy and is in great shape. No gut, not anorexic, just normal.
the blanket statement 5 ft 11 or taller as most men are amuses me somewhat :laugh:

EDITED for wiki data![]()
If you cut out old people (50+?) who are going to be increasingly shorter, then I would bet the average American male is pretty close to 5'10+. That's not far enough away from 5'11 to matter very much.
eh? You can't just make sh1t like that up5'11 (which is adding 2inches to that data) would certainly be statistically significantly different to 5'10 in that kind of a survey
Anyway, you still fail at life (well, statistics), what does an average mean again?
Obviously when I said average, in context, it ment the average American male below the age of 49.
Oh, and what? Seriously, I didn't understand much of what you said. And why do you feel the need to point out that 5'11 is adding 2inches' to that data? I can read.
Edit- after reading your reply a few more times- I wasn't trying to say it wouldn't have a big statistical difference. I'm saying that in terms of how your height/your weight relate to how fat you are(Which is what this thread/that quote stream are about
