Never trust a SKINNY chef! Who is ChefTalks biggest?

[Headless Chicken]

I'm 6' on the dot weighing in @ around 250lbs.

I don't smoke,drink often, or do drugs but I use to train in karate for 12 years till I started college.

[panini]

I'm square

[Peachcreek]

I'm 6' and weigh 175. We recently put a cycling machine and a treadmill in our family room. I rode 21 miles watching the opening of the Olympics!

Now here is a question for you- do you eat more when you work around food or in your off time. For me, the more time I am working around food, the less I feel hungry. Maybe it comes from years of being to busy to eat!

Gastronaut,
Firat off, I like the name. made me laugh. Second, I'm afraid you've got me beat too in the mass category. I'm six foot and about 210, but if it makes any feel better, I'm putting on weight. My dad came into the restaurant where I was woking last year and the first thing he said was: "Do they make black chef caots?" I said yes and of course, "why?". He said: "Because I can see you're putting on weight. Maybe a black coat can hide some of that." ...Ouch! My thing is eating late at night after I've had alot to drink. I'm trying to lay off the late night eating!

I used to snack all day on my days off but now I'm working 7 days a week and weight training so my problem is I can't get enough food haha

[Jolly Roger]

Good question! I eat basic junk when I'm away from my work. KFC...forget about it! It's easy, greasy, and pleasy. I think that chefs need to set healthy examples. Me? I'm going back to wieght training and mountainbikinig. The older we get, the more focus we need to put on health and less on partying...ok, keep partying in there, but in the words of Neil Pearte..."Everything in moderation with occasional excesses."

I have been going to the gym before work for about 2 months now and currently have lost 28.5 lbs. Currently- 5ft 9in- 203lbs. was up to 231.5lbs.. I have heard you know if someone's on the level if their bubble is in the middle. Instead of looking like I'm ready to give birth I now look like I'm only slightly pregnant. Hey, if Schwarzeneger could play a pregnant guy why not me. I figure on loosing another 25lbs. The biggest cook I've worked with was 6ft. 2in. 430# and wore size 68 inch checks. He wins so far.

6'9" 365lbs

LOL, this is so funny, I am 5'2" and 95 lb. I would give my eye teeth to have another foot. And if that were so, another 100lb wouldn't go amiss either. I would love to be big, but not much hope now. My sons are big though. I am old and on my way down, alas. ;Þ

[diane]

Oh wow, that is impressive, 6.9. I am so jealous. 365. I take it you don't need anyone to lift the full Le Cusinart out of the oven for you. And the top shelf of the pantry doesn't involve a step ladder. ;Þ

[godfather_chef]

5'11" 205

[Nick.Shu]

hmm, 6" straight and (err kgs to pounds ahh yes!) 150#.

The major factor i find is to to not snack from deep fryers. I consume insane amounts of short blacks, dont eat breakfast, either sleep late or not at all, work at least a 55 hr week.

Im not sure if its the lack of weight or the shifty eyes j/k.
