Friend that eats junk food but in SHAPE!

[leanback@live.com.au]

O.K. I have a mate that eats junk food like crazy for example. For lunch the other day he had 2 big macs, fries and and double cheese burger. He eats at like 11pm etc. He does hit the gym and run but he stays in really good shape!!!

Really muscular and I would say fit as well. Can someone explain this please?

Thank You

Yeah I would ditch him as a friend .. I don't even know him and I don't like him. Mind you I think we all know someone like this. A good friend of mine who was a middleweight Mr Australia at one stage and has won just about everything else in that weight class would eat more getting ready for shows and his last meal of the day was a bowl of ice cream!

Metabolism is the secret!

Calories in versus calories out. If he's not eating more calories than he's expending in a day, he won't gain weight. As he's going to the gym (I assume he weight trains?) as well, if he eats a little more calories than he needs they could be used mostly for muscle building.

Nothing wrong with eating at 11pm either if you were implying that?

Must be his cheat meal

How old is he?In my 20's that was me for sure, then 30 arrived and these days a sideway glance at a burger seems to tighten my pants :pfft:

Darwinstef: He is 23.

Really Buff! He away from the gym for about a month and a half. 2nd week back he benches like 130kg 4 times. Me on the other hand has taken a LONG TIME! to get to 100kg. Anyone know what his secret is?

baysprop: He eats a ton of crap during the week

dubble_d: Bro sux alright! He is away from the gym for like a month. 2nd week into the gym he benches 130kg like 3 times. Me, 100kg took me a LONG TIME to get to and I take protein and creatine. He claims he doesn't take that stuff but I don't know.

A while ago I read about a cyclist who would eat fried chicken before a race and when his trainer/coach put him on a "proper diet" his performance suffered. Maybe some fuel just works for some people?

wow! do you know where I can find this article?

Merged the two topics.

nah seriously some people are just genetic marvels .

I don't see burgers as serious junk food..... Sure it's not clean but maybe that one meal is 3000cals a bit too much fat but reasonable carbs and protein

I often eat 4 burgers 2 dbl whopper dbl cheese and 2 smaller say hawian bk chicken and that's as one meal of say 6 In a day

Doesn't happen every day or week and if I was wanting to trim up I wouldn't dream of it but it sure helps bulking

You can't isolate one meal and call him a freak

[leanback@live.com.au]

wow! you can eat alot. My mate eats alot of other crap during the week especially the samoan food his mum cooks him. So much OIL! lol

Hahaha.. My partner is one of THOSE people. Over christmas he put on 1kg and got a wee covering over his abs but 10 days back at work and he's got an 8 pack again!! He only comes to the gym if he has to pick me up and then he'll bust out a few single arm chin ups and some windscreen wipers (just to piss of the "serious" crowd.. every one stops what they are doing and watches him....) then buggers off!

He will eat in a normal day .. 3-4 sandwiches - white bread, margarine, luncheon and cheese - a pile of biscuits and cakes, yogurt, up to 4 beers at night plus what ever I cook for tea and then before bed a cheese toasty or two or maybe more cakes/ biscuits, well you get the idea.

He does have an active job ..but geez it pisses me off :grin:

Having that kind of metabolism might seem awesome and it is if you aren't trying to be big but it makes it a nightmare trying to gain significant weight.

[leanback@live.com.au]

Time in motion: :shock: I wish that was me!

AlBubundy: My mate gains bulk and can burn off fat well, along with eating crap!

I'm just gona punch him in the face
