I eat a lot, used to eat > 1lb of chicken (at least the frozen weight) for dinner with carbs to match maybe 2-3 x a week. Carb portions are huge with every meal, except mebbe breakfast b/c its only cereal. But I'm always tired unless I get some exercise, so 7/10

8/10... i use to be a 10/10, could eat anything i want at any quantity and was still skinny like hell. I still can eat pretty much anything i want (had a large pizza and 3 beers all by myself the other day), but if i do it for too long, i will gain a bit of weight. I usually hover at 12-14% bf, but aiming at 10% (12% atm...winter i usually hit 14%).

Ditto. I have to consume like 1500 calories a day and do circuit training or HIIT 4 days per week in order to lose any weight.

I can eat loads and not gain much weight, but I still get pretty tired easily. 6'1 around 170 lbs.

Same. I've been overweight since I was about 9. Exercise never really helped and diet didn't do a damn thing. I eat = I gain wait. Only time I was able to lose weight was when I had an intestinal problem where all I could manage to keep down for about a month was crackers, jello, and water. I got down to 185 lbs from that but once I was able to eat real food again my weight shot back up.

I weigh a lot and never seem to lose weight. I used to swim 6000 yards every day and still had a gut. (this was when I was a teenager, before I was into beer.)

My metabolism isn't a 10.
That said, my appetite is huge. I used to eat in 1 day more than some may eat in a week. I have cut down quite a bit though. Now I try to stay under 3500 calories per day. I am not gaining weight.

I'd say it's an 8.

5ish. I do gain weight easily if I don't exercise. But I exercise a lot nowadays, so I am losing weight.

10/10, my dad, my sister, and my 2 aunts can eat 10 meals a day and not gain a pound.

My father and his sisters at 64 years old + and their body weight only fluctuated +/- 5 pounds their entire lives.

Hell, he is still always active, doing stuff around the house, he can't relax for a second.

Same here, basically. (Although I was going to say 2/10 myself.)

I've never been a particularly light eater (until recently), but I had to cut my calorie intake to 1500/day to lose weight. Even now (after having lost 80 pounds), I can count the number of days I've eaten over 1700-1800 calories in the past six months on one hand.

On the plus side, I feel great not having to carry around all the extra weight now

yea, I try to cut to 1500 and run 3 miles to lose weight.

10/10. I can't gain weight even if I try.

 

[rocadelpunk]

3-4/10

I eat really well (includes type of food + pacing) and exercise regularly, but I just can't drop that much weight...it seems like my only option is just to use my big frame and bulk up.

My energy levels are pretty good though

Now that I'm 32, I think I'm down to about 8.5/10 from 10.1/10. Currently bike riding 3 times a week (two of those are to work), and lifting 3 times a week.
