How many grams of sugar do you eat per day? Mostly refined or from fruit/juice?
The only time I count grams of sugar is when I'm doing an endurance exercise. I always add refined sugar to fruit because, today, fruit is devoid of the nutrient. I consume refined (isotonics) and juice. You need 100-200 grams of sugar per hour during endurance activities. Other than that, I just eat as much as my body tells me to eat. It varies depending on the day. I never count calories. Just go by your appetite. Obviously, I keep the grams of fat 10 grams or less each day. If I get too lean, then I go to 20 grams to get to optimal weight, then I go back to 10 or less grams each day. All you need are one or two grams of omega 3 fats each day for optimal health.

Averages are problematic when you're in a "melting pot".

Example: the "average" pregnancy lasts 40 weeks. But for white women, it's 41.5 weeks.
So for my family, the average pregnancy is 41.5 weeks. THAT is the average, with 50% more, and 50% less.
Because my wife and I are both white. Why would we care what the average gestation is for a negro, or an asian, or an eskimo? It has zero bearing on us.
Might as well concern myself with the gestation period of an elephant.

Why is it problematic? Because the doctor will become "concerned" when your white wife is 41 weeks pregnant -- even though she's right on track for a white woman.
He might schedule an induction, which often leads to a C-section, and could ultimately affect how many children you can have! All because of PC nonsense about "ignoring race" and "we're all the same".

Is it me or the less white the country gets, the fatter it gets.

Blacks are some of the fittest people out there, but the MAJORITY of fit people I seen my whole life are white. It's in our DNA to pursue perfection.

"Average" is different than "median."
The distribution is probably Gaussian (normal), so average = median in this case.

5'-4", 171 lbs? average??? Woman?? Yikes.
This is close to my height and weight right now...  :laugh1:

Granted I have a baby under 2 months (it takes time to lose weight postpartum if nursing a baby) and I am an inch and a half taller (and a few lbs. heavier) but no one ever seems to think I look over weight.  :cowboy:
