The old saying that “men are from Mars and women are from Venus” seems to apply when it comes to nutrition. While women tend to fret about their weight and pore over food labels, men often have a more relaxed attitude when it comes to their diets. Maybe it’s because most guys burn through calories a lot faster than women do – so they figure they can get away with eating whatever they want. Going Beyond Body Weight The assumption seems to be that as long as their weight is in check, they really don’t have to give much thought to what they eat. But that’s not really the case. Body weight is only a part of the picture. How much body fat you have, where that fat settles on your frame, along with the overall quality of your diet – all contribute to your wellbeing. Let’s say you don’t do much exercise, but your weight is reasonable. Don’t let that fool you: you could still be carrying around way too much body fat. And while excess body fat is a concern for everyone, guys ar...
