yep. i've never been a skinny minnie but when i was in my early 20s I could party 3x/week, eat pizza or mac and cheese with cheesy fries, cheese burgers, and drunken late night ben and jerry's binging whenever I wanted, just work our more, and I never gained any weight (working out then was mostly weight lifting and stairmaster/running stuff).
However, at the tender age of 24->25, my metabolism started changing as I started sitting more (office work) and I had to watch the intake. Now, pushing 40, I do more aerobic exercise than at any other time in my life, and I've gotta watch the intake carefully.
ZeCannon - be warned, you're time will come, mark my words, it'll come.
