    Guys, if you want to start the debate on a calorie vs a calorie, please do it in another thread. We don't need to go down this rabbit hole again.

    Is it bad that that's how I feel about myself?

    And I also hate the don't lose any more weight, especially since I still need to lose another 30lbs.

    A trainer at my gym approached me with a comment about my bench press (not a problem with form or anything) and then asked me a few questions about my workout. When I told him the lifts I do (I follow SL 5x5) he said:

    "Aren't you worried you'll hurt yourself?" And "you could do calisthenics, that won't let you get bulky"

    I wanted to smack him with a 25lb plate...I was thoroughly annoyed.

    What is annoying is when I go trick or treating and I get a box of raisins. They say, "I only give out healthy treats!" WTF!

    I have some favorites..


    In the weight gaining section, everyone has a fast metabolism
    In the losing weight section, everyone has a slow metabolism.


    But when you figure out how they are tracking calorie, its not true..


    Oh love me some somatotypes.

    I either hear "Your so lucky. I wish I had your problem"...uhhh no you don't. Or "Your so skinny. Why don't you just eat?"...deep down I want to reply "Why don't you stop stuffing your face?!" but the grownup in me says to not even bother arguing about it. They'll never understand.....

    While trying to justify eating 2500 calories a day (after I increased my activity level), and family members think I'm so obsessed about eating more food. Similarly, or that 300g of carbs a day is definitely way too many for me, even though that would be just under 50% of my total calorie intake. (Without measuring blood sugar levels after eating there's no conclusive evidence that my body's carb threshold is not that high). Mind you, I'm a 21 year old male with a BMI of 19.3, and I also do a little bit of strength training. My waist size is smaller than most women out there, and they know it. I just don't get it.

    I have had people say it to me yes... mostly out of 'love' if you will- they know I work hard- and they respect me. But it's still annoying.

    5'3, 119 lbs... most annoying thing said is when people tell me to eat more! I take in 2000 calories a day, how much more do you want me to take in? Or, when friends say "Yeah you can eat whatever, you're skinny." Not fair. I still watch what I eat, and I still workout like mad to maintain the way I look! Sorry!

    To be fair, if you're trying to gain weight and you aren't gaining at your current intake, that is the answer. While it may seem like a ton of food to you, if you are burning a large number of calories, you aren't going to gain until you up your intake.

    If you feel like the volume of food you eat is too much, try swapping out low calorie foods with higher calorie options.

    Not about my weight, but a friend said he wanted to tone muscle. He didn't want to gain any or at least much. I told him there's not really any such thing as toning muscle, but only building muscle or losing fat to make muscle more defined. He's at, I estimate, 30% BF, so I told him he'd be better off losing fat because, if he wanted muscle definition, he'd see it most at about 10% BF. He said he wasn't fat and he'd just work out to get the muscle. I told him to measure what he eats re: calories. He said, I kid you not, "I can't be bothered to calculate my calories." Good luck then. Either he'd have to lose 20% BF to see any muscle definition or he'd have to gain a ton of muscle that he loses the 20% BF, which he told me he doesn't want to do. And not track calories? Pfff. He wanted to wing it to success when tons of people wrack their brains for months or years trying to get there.
