And then there is the individual's metabolism. In my 20s-30s was not unusual for me to come home from work and have a 1/4 lb sack of M&Mpeanuts and 2 beers. Weighed in at 148 lbs which I had weighed since I was16. Stopped smoking when I was 32 (2 packs/day) and 7-8 months later weighed 225 lbs. And no, was not eating more food.
