I work with a guy who claims to be a vegetarian. The guy is slightly overweight, yet fairly young, roughly 24 years old. How is possible? Just curious if anyone has encountered this.

I assume that if you are crazy enough to eliminate animal flesh from your diet, you would presumably be leading a healthy lifestyle...healthy enough to stay fit and trim?

EDIT---MODs, why is this thread anchored?

Salads with about 6 tablespoons of ranch dressing and a pile of croutons probably has more fat grams and calories than a Big Mac.

Probably drinks a box of Vella sangria every night with his bowl of kale. Vegans and vegetarians are a strange bunch

I know a girl who is a vegetarian but also fat. Won't eat meat of any kind but doesn't have any problem stuffing her face with fried foods all day long.

The vegans I know swear they have to eat 3,000 cals to maintain weight.

That's a shitload of fruits and veggies.

I also work with a guy who is overweight as a vegetarian, but he's in his 50s. It's very strange

Agreed. Hairy armpits & communist attitudes...not to change the subject. I like changing my diet up and doing a cleanse here and there.

Whomever noted sugar is most probably the culprit. But got-dang, I would process/metabolize a 24 pack of bud heavies and a large pep pizza every Saturday night until 35 years old.

Homeless guy came to the ER the other day and said he was homeless, hungry, and a vegetarian. Then he proceeded to ask me for a banana and peanut butter. He wasn't fat, but he pissed me off asking for food and then stating he has diet restrictions.

Before anybody says I'm a dick for not feeding him, he came to the ER for treatment of an abscess he got from shooting up heroin.

one piece of cheese pizza has like 20 carbs and a full days worth of sodium. One chicken breast is like 200 calories and nothing else but protein. Just because you don't eat meat doesn't mean anything.

Vegans can easily be overweight or have skinny fat if they don't get adequate protein from their diet
