[QUOTE="stuffedolive, post: 2231193, member: 65903"] This reflects my own experience. I was LBW and skinny till I discovered alcohol & chips as a student. After a brief unhealthy tubby foray I discovered the bicycle and running and the gym and got seriously fit and lean again. However although I got strong muscles I couldn't bulk up. And I have cycled and run ever since. However my understanding of ageing is that we all lose muscle mass year on year so if one didn't have a lot to start with then this loss hits harder. Consequently, as muscle is so important for processing blood glucose, excess calories more easily gets laid down as visceral fat with all the metabolic problems that result. Hence naturally skinny people can be 'obese' at a lower BMI than the average person. [/QUOTE]
