zk,
agree withe the exercise comment strongly.
which really gets back to housing once again. with the housing bubble, people ended up moving further and further out into the desert, and commutes of 1-2 hours each way for both parents became common place.
while the parents sit in traffic, the kids sit in front of the TV.
the parents get home with pizza or fast food in hand, or pop in sodium and fat rich microwave dish from Costco. after they eat, it is pretty much bedtime because the whole family got to get up at 5 am to do the commute all over again.
where is the exercise? you don’t.
that’s the true cost of the bubble. it eliminates all hope of home ownership for families in established areas. families react by moving to the boonies. result? you end up with millions of morbidly obese families knocking down the doors of Big Pharma looking for the next diet pill.

March 3, 2008 at 11:01 AM #163556robsonParticipantMedian time spent commuting to work increased from 24.4 minutes in 2000 to 25.0 minutes in 2006, for the nation. You might guess SD is different but it is not. In 2006 the median commute time was 24.9 minutes.

It’s true that weight gain/loss is completely dependent on the difference of calories in vs. out. I would add though, that what type of calories your “in” consists of will partly determine whether it is muscle or fat you will lose/gain. If you ate 1000 calories of lard a day while burning 1500, you would be more likely to lose muscle than fat. If you ate 1000 calories of tuna while burning 1500, you’d be more likely to lose fat.March 3, 2008 at 11:01 AM #163866robsonParticipantMedian time spent commuting to work increased from 24.4 minutes in 2000 to 25.0 minutes in 2006, for the nation.

Your body will convert the energy to whatever it needs. You need to work the muscle to preserve it. The 1000 Kcal of tuna will result in exactly the same tissue loss if you’re not exercisisng it. This is why the strength exercises are so important. I would agree that the tuna will help build muscle from the protein, and this makes it a much better choice.
