Dont do anything h_k said. Its all wrong. You need to eat 3 filling meals a day. Not small meals alot. Protien and Carbs both will make you gain considerable weight, unless your really active. In crosscountry we would eat huge spagehti meals the night before our meet to give us lots of energy. Multiply your wieght times 15? Thats the stupiest thing I've ever heard, so the bigger and fatter you are, the more calories you need to consume? Cmon...
Grav, just eat salads. Lots and lots of salads. And run, most likely being a bigger guy(I've never seen you though)you have muscle to support your wieght and whatnot, so the more wieght you lose the more defined you look. Or you could just try and convert the fat directly to muscle...
I need to start working out too, but I'm waay to skinny. 6'2'' 150-160? So I drink protien shakes and and lift wieghts, I run too cause I like it. Damn not 8-10 miles though, how could you have enough time to do that...I see some people on my way to work running at 5:30 am. If I didnt have to go to work I would definatly be sleeping.
