So.. How big is your beer gut and did you notice a signifigant increase in belly size once you started home brewing beer vs purchasing beer?
Mine's big enough that I had SWMBO get me some new shirts, in XXL, and I've never been anything bigger than an L in my life. I never bought much beer before I started brewing, so my expansion is all due to homebrew and storebought stuff for research purposes.Denny's Brew said:So..

mmditter said:Mine is a little bigger, but not just due to drinking homebrew. I have been eating too much lately, but have been back on the healthy eating wagon the past 2 weeks. I wonder how many calories your average homebrew has compared to, say, a Miller Lite?

I used to be a "racing snake" before I got married, 6ft 3ins and 147 lbs (way under-weight) but as soon as I got married, I slowly increased in weight to 182 lbs. I reckon the "I do" turned the gain down on my metabolism.

For me, beer's not the problem, portion control is. My parents taught me to "clean the plate" which I took to heart. Nowadays, when resturants are serving 1500-2000 calorie meals, I have to practice some serious self control to "waste" food.
andre the giant said:I am 6'2" and weigh around 250 (not really a giant by any means). I carry it pretty well. Several years back, when I was cycling every day, I got down to 215 and was pretty dang lean. People were starting to wonder if I was sick or something. I guess my bones are made of lead?! Hell, the "optimum" weight for someone of my size is supposed to be 185-195 or something like that. If I was that skinny, I'd look very unhealthy, not that I don't need to lose about 25 lbs....
