I'm pretty fit. I do soccer, golf, and I bike almost everyday. Plus, my house doesn't even own alot of junk food. We don't even own a bag of chips.

Oh...to that person who said I was saying that to get attention: that never even crossed my mind. Plus, I'm not bratty enough.


Answers:

You are fine. What I would recommend is trying to maintain a pretty consistent weight. Make sure you eat breakfast as this will keep your metabolism up and as a result you will burn more calories during the day (and you will feel better). Also if you are concerned about your weight introduce more fruits and vegetables into your diet as these are low fat and will help in your overall weight maintenance. Plus, you shouldn't believe the "low carb" diet as this only brings your body into a state of keotosis that will trick it into thinking it is starved; you will lose weight at first but you will plateau and once you introduce carbohydrates back into your diet (including good carbs such as cereal like cheerios or multi-grain bread), you will put the pounds back on faster than you can imagine. If you really want to maintain a healthy weight, your best bets are to limit fats, make sure you eat good carbohydrates (such as whole wheat bread and cereals, because the whole "low carb" fad is based on the fact that sodas and candies, which contain high contents of simple sugars, are also considered carbs and are not anything like whole grains and wheats which are actually excellent for your body), and make sure you get all of the vitamins you need. Probably your best bet on this is to use a multivitamin such as Centrum to make sure you're getting all of the nutrients that are necessary.
