I still wonder about some people’s tendency to stay thin. I know, in horses and dogs, some are just not thrifty (that is, it’s hard to keep weight on them). In my experience, especially with dogs (I show and breed, so I’ve had quite a few thru my front door over the years) some eat very willingly, but still don’t keep enough weight on. More often than not it’s boys, not girls, who stay thin almost regardless of what or how much I feed them. Something accounts for it, but I don’t really know what. One particular boy was not overly active (he was as much a couch potato as anyone in the house) and he LOVED to eat, and yet, he was always thinner than I would have liked. He had no illnesses, just stayed very thin (a good weight really, but not a good show weight).
So, go figure. It may have been calories in, vs calories out, but for some reason he burned them faster/easier/better. I would like to be like that! As it is, I think I’ll go back on a 1200 a day diet and see what happens.
Geeze, that’s not much food! ;)
