Living Legend & Old Fart
Humans are not machines - we are all different - look at your siblings, do you all have the same build, hairline, hair colouring. etc.? You share the same parents so you should be more or less identical but you are not! I am the only one of 6 siblings with blond hair and blue eyes and we did not have a German milkman!
There are three body types:- ectomorphs, mesomorphs & endomorphs and your ability to store fat and build muscles largely depends on your body type. When an athlete stops performing, he/she may put on bulk - is this because they have stopped training and competing and have decided to overeat? We all know that retired athletes have the hotline numbers to McD, KFC and the local Chinese chippy!!!!
Someone mentioned BMI - that chart has not been updated for many a long year but general health has improved. The same applies to clothing sizes - inside leg sizes seemed to stop at 33.5" and I need 35, things may have improved since I last tried to but a pair of trousers in the UK.
So things are a bit more complicated that the simple Less Food + More Exercise = WeightLloss equation
