A calorie is a calorie, but it also depends on how well your metabolism works. Many people gain weight in middle age even if they maintain the same diet and level of activity, because their metabolism changes.

And some don't. I've got 3 siblings that said: "Just you wait" and are watching like vultures on a telegraph line to see me bloat up like a blimp.

Ain't gonna happen. I'm past that magic age where it was supposed to happen. I'm still whip-cord lean.

I agree with that. I have seen it over the years. Some people can eat a ton of food and not get fat. Some get fat just by passing by the candy section.
