I'm fortunate in that I have never struggled in this regard. I'm just shy of 6', and never been over 160 lbs. I still have the 33" waist I had when I graduated high school, 31 years ago. I don't eat what I would consider healthy, so I suppose it's due to activity. If I ever slow down I'm probably in trouble.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
