"I barely eat at all and I'm extremely over weight."
Sorry buddy, but that's not the way things work 99% of the time. You ARE eating more than you think. If you weren't, you wouldn't be fat.
"I thought you were on a diet, so why are you eating _____?"
Because I can eat whatever I want in moderation... IIFYM my dear

I can't believe people are so dense as to not get that.
"I mean, it's true."
That's so wrong it's offensive.

When people say this, they really mean "By volume, muscle weighs more than fat". Meaning that 1 cm^3 of muscle weighs more than 1 cm^3 of fat. Which IS true. People just drop off those first two words.0 -
When people don't bat an eyelid if I pick up 2lts of coke or a slab of choc but if I pick up vegetable juice or rye crackers they feel obliged to tell me why they aren't healthy and I should just get more exercise. F**k the f**k off! my bmi doesnt give you the right to critique my trolley.0

what I really hate is how its okay to say rude things about how I live my life and watch what I eat so people think its okay to try to shove cookies and brownies in my face and its just not in my calories that day. and then when I do have a day where I fit it in my calories they're like oooooooooh you're actually gonna eat? ... like seriously I eat 1600 calories a day, I just pick and choose when I can sneak dessert in. they wouldn't say this to me if I was overweight..... ok rant over 0

Like people who believe the earth is flat.
Or that climate change is fake because we got snow in winter.

People who have no idea what they but in to their body. I know not everyone needs to diet, and I know that some people just are slim naturally, but still. My boyfriend was telling me about this fruit or nut bar he ate, and he was like "I saw that the thing had three hundred calories!!" I asked him how big it was and I'm just like "well yeah obviously.. Dried fruit and nuts are healthy but very calorie dense. How much do you think a pizza has??" To where he couldn't answer, haha. He eats very unhealthily.
OOOOH and this: when people don't understand that you're trying to eat healthier.
"It's just one piece of cake, it won't make you fat!" I know it won't, it's not about that. It's about me making wiser decisions for my body. Just accept it please.0 -

I disagree, I think the wording "by volume" is always implied, and those who like to nitpick at it are listening to their inner pedant
Just out of interest my inner pedant is huge, so large in fact that I sometimes wear this t-shirt shotdeadinthehead.com/clean-grammar-t-shirt.html at the gym ...but I do my utmost to stifle him, and it is a him, as letting him out makes me look like an ar$e and not an intelligent human being.

I can't disrespect someone enough to assume that they are implying something they aren't explicitly stating. In general. Some people I know are intelligent, I'll grant that for them, but there are few posters like that here.
I mean hell, we have people claiming that kcal doesn't raise a l of water by 1 degree C at 0m, because of what the source of it was.0 -

No, but that wasn't his definition. His definition was "a pound is a pound". By that measure, lead would weigh the same as feathers so long as you had a pound of each.0 -
"By this definition, everything in the known universe weighs the same. "
No. a kilo of everything weighs the same.
and i would doubt if "by volume" is at all implied. remember for US Americans, the political system is basically structured around those who think creationism is real0 -

47% of the country believes in creationism. How scary is that much rampant stupid running wild?-1 -
So you're saying that a pound of lead weighs differently from a pound of feathers?CharlieBeansmom wrote: »

No, but that wasn't his definition. His definition was "a pound is a pound". By that measure, lead would weigh the same as feathers so long as you had a pound of each.
So a pound of lead weighs 16 oz, or roughly 448 grams.
How much does a pound of feathers weigh?

Exactly a pound.
However, most human beings would say feathers are lighter than lead; which is a perfectly valid statement. Which is my point.
If you want to argue pedantically, take it some where else. I'm not interested.0
