(Just thinking out loud here.)

this show makes me wonder what my son (20 & living at home) eats.
The super skinny guy they have on the show is shorter than my son (he looks it, anyway, can't find info, but he looks shorter than 6'4.5") and weight 20 pounds MORE and he hardly eats anything and is super picky. My son eats without regard, all the time and is on the computer most the day. He does have a part time job at Steak and Shake now, but also eats there too sometimes. (Adding to his intake)

I guess my son must eat less than I think. it sure seams every time I turn around he has yet another bowl of,chili or mashed potatoes or chicken. Or maybe Playing League of Legends burns more calories than I thought.

Makes me wanna follow him around weighing and recording everything he eats.....

(This is the one and only episode of this show I have seen)

    What i found interesting about that show is how many of the 'superskinny' people just blatantly refused to change how they ate

    And that most of the superskinny men were just skinny because they completely ceebsed cooking :P

    haha i guess thats what happens to guys when they move out of home and their mums dont cook anymore :P

    I wish he moved fast! He does pace a lot. Maybe it adds up. But he is as slow as molasses in January! I just find it interesting that some people have super strict disordered eating and Gavin eats everything in sight and is skinnier. Just wait till he hits 30 and it catches up! If he could bottle and sell his metabolism he'd be rich!

    Strange show! Not sure about the others, but the dude is making the two extremes swap diets. Like Wife Swap, but with food.
