      Ok, so basically through out my whole life I have never stuck to a real healthy diet or exercise routine and I basically eat whatever I want, and I don't even play sports, but somehow I still manage to stay relatively lean ( not really skinny) I maintained about 14% 15% body fat for the past 6 years and I would literally eat junk everyday and I wouldn't even bother working out, I obviously have some upper body fat, but it's not nearly as much as you would think. I just want to understand, does this mean that with me starting to work out now and sticking to a diet, would I see results faster? and would it be easier for me to shed 10 pounds of fat and gain some muscle? I always had this idea that, if my body is like this now, imagine what it could be like with a diet and exercise.

      What do you think ?

      I think you should get off your butt and start working out!

      I think you just randomly happen to be eating at maintenance.

      Because you eat like a 10 year old (barely any calories)

      I would eat about 100 calories for breakfast , 300 for lunch, 300 for mid day snacks, and about 1000 for dinner.

      I ate a crap diet as well for the passed couple of years while also having minimal physical activity and wondering why I stayed so thin. I've recently started wanting to bulk up more paying attention to my calorie intake and didn't realize how low I was (wasn't even making that close to 2k/day). I'm really good at forgetting to eat so working everyday to try to get to 2.5k cals a day. It's funny how that doesn't even seem like much, but I'm still having to force feed at times.
