re: do you watch what you eat/count calories?

Am I suppose to stop lifting weights and just shrink to meet a number some people decide I and others should weigh? My Dr says I'm great and one of his healthiest patients. I'll go with the Dr.

I honestly don't know how people can get that big. And not from a looking down on them perspective. This is coming from a pure how do you consume that many calories perspective.
I eat like crap. I have always been a picky eater and have a hard time eating enough veggies and healthy food in general. I do go through periods where I watch what I eat and exercise, but a lot of the time, I can live off of fast food/pizza/etc and you could say I'll drink to excess a bit. I don't do small portions when I fall off the wagon either. I'm a shade over 5'11" and I don't think I've ever been over 200 lbs.
I am about 175-180 right now and I've been cycling and just started up at the gym again. If I work hard, I think I can get down to 160-165 and be in very good shape. But if I fell off the wagon and decided to live off of the Whataburger (and boy do I wish I could) down the road from me, I seriously doubt I'd brake 200 lbs. It would take a year of only eating that and literally doing no physical activity at all.

The BMI says I should weigh 155. I haven't weighed that since high school and only had 7% body fat. I think that scale is slightly flawed
Posted on 4/14/15 at 7:09 am to dallastiger55
150 lbs for a guy is too skinny. Ewwwwww!
Posted on 4/14/15 at 7:11 am to lurkr
BMI doesn't give you one number. It's a range.
Posted on 4/14/15 at 7:12 am to lurkr
I'm 5'8" and bounce between 180 and 185. I'd like to get up to 190-195
Posted on 4/14/15 at 7:15 am to yellowfin
190 was to hard for me to maintain.
Posted on 4/14/15 at 7:17 am to Winkface
That's the middle or top of the range when I put it in

no, I do not count calories
I would kill myself before I did
I am, however, aware of what I eat
if I eat a burger with fries for lunch, dinner will be leaner, or if I know I'm eating an unhealthy dinner, I'll eat a salad for lunch
You can eat healthy and be aware of the food you ingest without being anal about it

I counted calories for awhile when I was being more aggressive about losing weight. Once I got a feel for what I was taking in i didn't see he point. It just became a game to see how little calories I could take in. I enjoy food too much for that

5'9 160 is a perfectly healthy, normal weight
you would rather be overweight with fatceps so people think you are all manly and burly

I can see what he means. When I get serious about a diet (usually only lasts about a week
), I strictly follow it. I'll measure out 6 oz. of chicken on a scale, etc. In that sense of counting calories, I can see someone never wanting to do that. Posted on 4/14/15 at 7:37 am to Pilot Tiger

right
it doesn't take much effort to understand it
but I'm not going to whip out my calculator and say "well I ate 850 calories for lunch, so I can only eat another 800 calories for dinner, let me weigh this chicken breast and broccoli"
