That's interesting. I'd guess my career keeps me "fairly" fit then? I average 8,000 steps per shift, and sometimes I do "reps" with ratches and other word nonsense. (Mechanic)

This is all good info though, I had 0 knowledge about anything when asking my original question. I didn't know there were even multiple types of fat on your body.

When I say exhausted I mean I've been active from 7am until around 8pm non stop. I just don't have energy to go to a gym or something and I'd rather just wind down.

And I do a lot of cycling. I know it's not "ultra mega workout" but I am active and when I mountain bike I can maintain my heart rate pretty well. I noticed my calves getting meatier and my stamina was pretty good at the end of the season.

So id like to think I'm fairly active.. but a lot less when I was younger (drumming, skating, snowboarding, biking. Every day. 365)

I smoked when I was 18/19. Got food poisoning once when I was smoking and now when I smell weed I get really nauseous lol. It's super fun /s

yeah i want to gain weight.

Nah it's a joke. I stay as physical as I can. My brother surfs and plays baseball hear round in Hawaii and he is ripped. I just mountain bike in the bin snow season here. Maybe I just need to find time to exercise or something. But my joints can't take skateboarding anymore

I can suck it in, yes. And obviously it gets smaller the less bloated I am too (I'm lactose intolerant but live in WI and cheese is life)

Definitely! It makes the most sense reading other replies. Thank you so much

i already eat 2 meals a day :( im doomed!

lol i don't eat fast food :(

idk, ive gotten made fun of my whole life for being skinny. this also prevents me from gaining muscle mass you know. like...if want to buy a watch, i have to get the smallest watch possible for my wrists. and im not too nimble anymore. almost 40 so my joints are all breaking haha.

if i poke my belly and flex my abs i can feel my abs flexing with my finger. so i would say its more squishy than jiggly. regardless. going to try low carb anyways lol. thank you

I need to go to that bar haha
