I'm 6'3" 210 run and go to the gym religiously. But I can put a lot of bigger guys to shame with the amount I can eat when I really want to. My normal diet is healthy as frick made up mostly of protein and fruits/vegetables. My cheat meal on my cheat day on the other hand is ridiculous how many calories I can put away.

Need to try one of those eating challenges at some point

I can't. I rarely go to a restaurant and eat everything on my plate. I ran two miles after work and have only eaten an apple and some corn tortilla chips.

Sounds like you and I ate a lot alike. I'm 6'2 and 195. Also pretty devoted to gym and eating healthy. When I want to get my grub on, though. Watch out.

When we go out to eat with a group, everyone gets the clean plate award because I'll finish all the food. I have a buddy who is a huge dude (played OL for an sec school and still in shape) and I can eat him under the table.

I can, but I really shouldn't.

I always thought that if Tuscaloosa had a steak challenge restaurant I wouldn't have paid for a meal in college.

But steak is about the only thing I will go to town on. And pork tenderloin.

Wait until you get domesticated. When I was early to mid 20s - I was almost identical to you (6'3" weight fluctuated between 190 and 220). I would run/walk everywhere, and was at the HYPER on a regular basis.

I'm domesticated now, and can REALLY pack it away if I want. No way I'm running 6 miles even if I'm being chased. I still lift and do cardio, but I'm not in my 20s anymore. Enjoy it while you can.

I never really get full. I live a pretty active life and hit the gym 3-5 days a week but I'll probably never get skinny because I'm never not hungry.

I've put down 3-4 breakfast tacos without realizing it and are an entire stuffed crust (in my teens)

I mean, I'm 5'11 and 175-180 so I'm not huge I'll just never be able to turn off the eating.

How old are you? I'm 6'3" and used to be able to put away a ridiculous amount of food. Around my mid 30's though, the ability started to wane. When I hit 40, it went away completely.

We ordered pizza the other night and I was full after 2 slices. I used to eat an entire large in one sitting.

I'm 28. Be 29 this year. I see guys older than me that are ripped in the gym all the time

age is just an excuse. if you want it bad enough you'll find away to make it happen.

I'm 41, and I can still eat like crazy and am still fit.

That being said, the food definitely goes to my waistline quicker than it once did. Whenever I want to cut to get ready for summertime beach/pool, I have to be a lot stricter than I did at one time.

When I graduated high school I was 6'3", 170 pounds. My go-to at McDonalds was 4 cheeseburgers, large fries, and an apple pie. And I was hungry again a couple hours later.

Now I'm 6'3" 210 pounds and 1 cheeseburger and a small fries is my go-to at McDonalds, though I rarely eat there.

There are times I can still put away a lot of food, but those instances are few and far between. I ate about 20-25 chicken wings a few weeks ago, and had indigestion for 24 hours.
