I'll also likely snack on some fresh fruit either before or after dinner -- either an orange or some grapes, depending on what mood I'm in when I open the refrigerator door.

I have nothing to add to the OP but I would like to comment that if I ate that on average, I would balloon up to 275 pounds within a few months. And yes I work out every single day, and yes I do power walking/jogging 4-6 times per week for at least 30 minutes a session, yet I'm still 225 pounds at 5'10", the definition of a fat person.

Yet, I'm 5'9 and about 137 lbs. I can count all my ribs, I'm disgusted by the way my body looks.
But it sounds like you're describing me, except for the rolls of blubber which I lack, when you talk about these "unhealthy" people.

Exactly. I eat the complete opposite -- high protein, low in carb, 1500-1800 calories per day, stay physically active, and I'm 225 pounds. If I did what you do I would be 300 pounds within 6 months.
I know it's off topic but it's important. Sometimes these dreaded fat people aren't the ones that drove themselves to fatitude -- sometimes people are just shit on when they're born with some really crappy genes.
