I'm 67 at 13% body fat, I can do 10 dead hang pullups, a 4 minute plank, and bench 1.5x my weight. Life is about choices. It's no-ones business, but their own how they choose to eat.

My entire family on my mother's side, and my grandfather's side of my father's side, are chronically obese. I've been fighting it for decades, but still weigh 180 at 5'5". My breakfast is a breakfast sandwich and a cup of coffee, lunch is a single slice of bread folded in half over 3 thin slices of turkey breast, and a diet soda. Supper is a Healthy Choice microwave meal and a glass of water.
The breakfast sandwich is 410 calories, no real calories in black coffee, the sandwich is 210 calories, and dinner is 280 calories. And I have an active job working 5-6 days a week. If I made the choices I see other people make with their diets, I'd probably weigh 500#...
 
My thin-sliced chicken breasts have been marinating since 0900. I'm going to make stir fry rice to go along with them and Grand flakey biscuits for dinner tonight.

I don't cook very often indoors and mostly live out of my freezer and microwave. Granted, some of it's pretty good stuff, but nothing beats home made chow. One of these days I'm going to make some chili, NO beans, or some meatloaf.

Genetics play a huge part.

I may be in excellent "physical" shape, but I am cursed with Familial Hypercholesterolemia on both sides of my family. It doesn't matter what or how much/little I eat. Without some type of medication my total cholesterol would be close to 300. It stays around 140-160 on a non-statin med Nexletol (bempedoic acid). I've been keeping my weight around 160# since I retired. It's what I weighed as a freshman in HS. I was up to around 210# when I was powerlifting in my late 20's-early 30's. I'm only 5'8".

I eat pretty clean. Kind of a cross between Keto & Carnivore and try to grow most of my veggies 8 months out of the year. I don't deny myself anything and I will have a little ice cream or even a piece of pizza every once in a while. We're all going to die. I just enjoy life in moderation.

I've pretty much given up Bourbon, but I still enjoy a good pilsner.

I used to buy from MB Klein during their annual "Show" sales, that doesn't count does it?

I miss the old MB Klein's (MTS). It was my go-to for hobby purchases. I spent $1000s there throughout the years. Always had a positive experience.

You were lucky to be that close to it. I bet it was a great shop to go hang out and browse.
 
We are back from breakfast out. Went to a place that closed 10/25 as owners were in their late 70’s and none of the family wanted it. Just the property. We knew that. Until looking for a place to go this morning I noticed it was open again. Turns out 3/2026 it re-opened as the cook purchased it as a contract loan. Heard all about it this morning.

Family drama is everywhere! Retiring owners kids wanted it closed to sell the property it’s on. Retiring owners wanted the business to continue so did a land contract with the cook and retiring owners then took out an insurance policy that pays off the land contract if either of them pass.

The food was excellent and as usual more than 1/2 of mine came home

Badger volleyball on TV at noon and Packers at 3:25.

Has far as eating goes, I listen to what my doctors tell me I should be eating. They tell me if I don't listen to what there's telling me I won't be around that much longer. The other reason I watch what I eat is, I like 2 girls who are both real old and look great. This is what drives me eating habits The doctors and the girls. Swal
