I gained 12 lb on my honeymoon and then lost 15 just by cycling when I got back home. I eat somewhere around 3000 calories per day. Seriously, I cook from a recipe for 4, my wife eats one serving, I eat the rest. Her Italian mother accuses her of not feeding me because I'm so thin. I think it depends on the person, though. My metabolism is triggered very easily. 4-6 hours of exercise per week and a healthy appetite.
Hmmm. I wonder if my recent switch to mostly organic produce had any effect on this. My stomach doesn't like it yet. Not sure why.

Just be careful. I did that when I was 14 and competing nationally. My trainer was worried because I grew 3 inches in a year and stayed the same weight. Unhealthy. Probably not as big a concern for ages 25 and up, but still.
