The average American walks 1.4 miles per week (~350 yards per day)?
Just back from Japan where we consumed twice the volume of food as at home yet lost weight (Mostly raw seafood, raw vegetables, rice, malt & barley plus no car needed so we walked 5 or 6 miles/day like most everyone else). Avg observed BMI's were about 20 (nice). Lots of 70, 80 yr olds actively out & ‘bout.
Weight control suggestion: Ski Hakuba Valley after hand shear testing per attached group photo (not Cookie Monster).

Somewhat on-point tangent: during an expert discussion of where should a person's LDL cholesterol be, the point was made that by studying the few remaining hunter-gatherer societies remaining, their LDL's are now known to be 50 to 70 mg/dL. Just like all non-domesticated mammals, be they badger or blue whale, have an LDL level of 50-70 mg/dL. Skin far, skin fast, skin often, we'll all be fine.

Haggis, saru BMI ~12, I’m 25.1 so they are twice the primate. Which is why I allow you to break trail … with snow well survival/BMI ratios and all.

Precisely Marcus!
You are a well-muscled person, so you SHOULD be at the top of that range, maybe even a little over. But CULTURALLY you are almost "thin" (I bet you get called that in the non-athlete community all the time).
In your grandfather's day you would have been a rather hulking guy.
