Now, just where would you get a ridiculous idea like that?

In a new study of U.S. preteen and teen girls, daily exercise was strongly linked to weight and obesity in white girls but not black girls.
Although it's still important to promote physical activity in all young people, according to the researchers that may not be enough to prevent black girls -- who have a higher rate of obesity to begin with -- from gaining weight.

Can’t tell for sure, it is not smoking......
That depends on your activity level. If youre not a habitual exerciser, that’s about the right amount oglf calories. However, if you’re activity level is equivalent to an Olympic athlete, that’s too few.
Now, just where would you get a ridiculous idea like that?
You are not taking in age/gender/metabolism.. I'm in my mid 20's, 6-1, 194 lbs this morning, work out 6-7 days per week..hard with weights and cardio.Very little fat. 14.9 " arms want to get up to around 15.5
I'm eating 3200-3300 calories per day and not gaining muscle mass nor any weight. A 19 year old friend is eating 4000+ per day on a 6-2 frame...protein shakes and lot's of chicken
There are some really accurate maintenece calorie(calories you consume where you don't gain or loose weight) out there on the web..Input factors such as your age, sex, height, and all you various chest, arm , hip measurements.
Pretty much..I always joke it's 99% diet and 99% working out..but you are right.
they also get fat because of the way they prepare food....from my experience (my college roommate was black, i’ve been to the projects in NYC 1000’s of times) many black people fry foods in cooking oil (rarely olive oil) to the point the food they are cooking (chicken, etc) is literally floating in the pan there’s so much oil (versus baking the chicken)....mind as well spoon the Crisco directly into your mouth...
There are no differences among the races.
(Just in case.. it's meant to be sarcasm.)
It mus’ be jam, ‘cause jelly don’ shake like dat.
Welfare for single moms with 3 baby-daddies contributes to obesity.
...and vica versa. I now some true 8.5/9/10 white woman who won't date anyone but black guys. They like the British Broadcasting Corporation I guess.
There are some very pretty black women out there but for the most part I can see the white woman attraction with black men.
Just being male means that I will burn a third more calories due to having a higher muscle mass than my female equivalent.
i think they’d need to find a decent size sample of those who actually do it in order to find any meaningful patters...
Just curious what is your height/approx age and your daily calories?
>>Based on 32 small genetic sequences that have been tied to obesity in adults, people in New Zealand who had a higher genetic risk were heavier starting at age three, all the way through age 38 — the end of the study period.
Researchers led by Daniel Belsky at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina found that in their preteens and teens, people were more than twice as likely to be obese if they had more of those risky gene patterns than average.<<
Everyone who is overweight should just stop eating.
The important thing is to recognize that diet is far more important than exercise in weight control, and that being said, there are major differences between races in diet and metabolism.
One extreme example I like to cite is the Pima Indians of Arizona, who for dozens of generation existed on minimal diets punctuated by periods of starvation. They developed very efficient livers to the point where they could live for a very long time on 800 calorie a day diets. For an adult of European ancestry, 2,200 to 3,000 calories a day is about right.
Yet access to this much food gives Pima Indians endemic severe obesity and diabetes.
Likewise, most American blacks ancestors were from parts of Africa that were very old, geologically, with most salts and heavy metals leached from the soil. But North America (and Europe) is loaded with salts and heavy metals in its topsoil.
So American blacks tend to great sensitivity to both salts and heavy metals, with the incidence of high blood pressure at almost 50% among adults.
For this reason, black Americans need to figure out what their ideal diet should be, and not think that a typical European diet is right for them.
a friend once said, “to a black man, a white woman is a trophy.”
Maybe they drink more 16+ oz sodas than the others....(SARC)
When our Marines were in Iraq in 2003-2007 timeframes, we were told that they needed to be taking in at least 6,000 calories a day to maintain their weight at the time (regardless of height/weight). ??
Well, Tiki Barber and Tim Duncan got some damn nice trophies..........
