Everything in moderation? Really?

    I do not believe in the everything in moderation philosophy either. I am reading this as I eat my Twix candy bar, finish up my donut, & drink the rest of my coffee with a packet of hot cocoa in it full of sugar (seeing as I am already 60 grams over my sugar intake MFP has me on per day), so that I can then eat my processed breakfast sandwich with processed bread and cheese and eggs and sausage dripping in syrup. And I realize... I am quite happy with my 16.3% body fat I have achieved while not limiting myself to anything and I am quite happy with my food too. To each their own! Now I am going to go eat! Have fun debating and eating cardboard ;)

    You missed the point...If you eat like you are talking about without doing it in moderation, you're body fat will be WAY higher than 16.9%.

    No I didn't... I wasn't missing the point I was being sarcastic and I am at 16.3% body fat and I eat like that every day. Eating healthy has nothing to do with loosing body fat.

    Inb4 people reject thermodynamics and claim that your physique is a result of metabolic luck.

    TBH, I ate like that in my early 30s too, and with similarly low BF.

    I certainly wasn't healthy back then, but I was still skinny.

    *shrug*

    Not sure I believe you. Low BF is a pretty good indicator of health. She's not skinny fat.

    You don't believe that I ate a relatively poor diet in my early 30s (and 20s and teens) and kept a low BF? What's not to believe about that? A very physically active young man subsisting on a diet with lots of poptarts, doughnuts, soda, etc. with a low BF isn't (or at least wasn't) uncommon at all. (I'm sure I can find a few six-pack shots from my 20s...but then I guess you just won't believe my diet claims?) Really?

    I was going to point out how people often confuse relatively low/lean weight with actual health as they are two very different things, but you jumped straight from confusing the two to highly correlating the two. "Low BF is a pretty good indicator of health"?? I can't be the only one who doesn't believe that, am I?

    There's more to health than an active lifestyle at maintenance calories.

    I didn't say active lifestyle at maintenance calories. I said BF is a good indicator of health. How do you measure health? Weight isn't a good indicator. Blood work? Yes, I would agree with that. How exactly?
