I also think that in general men can get away with eating/drinking a lot more and it showing a lot less

It also very much greatly depends on your metabolism. Also women tend to be shorter and weight shows up more on those who are short than those who are tall. In my freshman year I gained about 6-8 pounds and I finally reached a “normal” weight so it works for me.

Men in general at any age can usually get away with eating more. A lot also just bc they weigh more and can have a higher calorie intake without gaining weight

Where lots of women it’s like if you have over 1400 calories you gain weight, which is really easy to do esp in college

That too. Don’t men also typically have a bigger appetite to go along w/ their size than women do tho?

I mean kind of but at least I had my time. I was a stick looking kid but once I stopped growing and stuff around like 8th grade/freshman year that was all over. I used to go home after school and make a pizza while sneaking like half a box of little Debbie’s in one sitting as a daily snack and look like a twig.
