Are Asians too thin/skinny?

[Pow in the Wow]

nopee, because i've seen some really fat asians here in Canada, and in the states. 3nodding

well, statistically, onli like 1/3 of azns are a little overweight (and i think thats too big of a number)

anyways i think its all da rice we eat. hasn't anyone noticed that if you eat azn food, it fills you up...but then an hour later, your hungry again? plus the high metabolism most azns have keeps them slim. i guess its mostly about diet tho.

hahah i get called toothpick alot but then i started to feel like i was getting insulted...cuz isn't that implying that your flat or sumthing? for a girl that is. xDD

I think it has to do with the culture and the metabolism. Most asians have high metabolism that I know.
And comparing the asians in asian countries with the ones in America- there's quite a bit more overweight Asians in America than in Asian countries. I think it's american food...

Some asians are really skiny though they eat like mad. Im not that skinny and neither am i fat. I am asian and i stay fit though i eat twice as much as my other friends while exercizing alot too. Those asians are jsut really lucky with their high metabolism.

My mom says Asians are skinny, 'cause they eat too much vegetables.

That's what I get all the time. I eat a lot, but my family has a considerably balanced diet (my mother's a nutritionist, you should see the inside of our fridge).

I blame my slender stature on my high metabolism. I eat tonnes. But I am also on my school's dance and swim teams.

The largest guy in my school is Asian, so I can only see that statement as a stereotype.

[mikotan]

um... we are skinny, i guess... but I don't think we're too skinny. I mean.. look at those models strolling the catwalk 4laugh
Most of them are skinnier than us ^^
well... skinnier than me anyway sweatdrop

It's true that we are skinny. It's because of the fact there's not much meat or food in our countries but plenties of vegetables. Here, you have so much foods. That's why some are bigger [No offense to those people D:].

On the other side, it's not very true that we are all skinny. It depends on our metabolism, what you eat, how you eat.

All I can say, most of Asians are skinny.

No no no no! Don't leave the sumos out of the Asian category. They're Asian too! D= By the way, I'm not skinny. =] I guess I'm okay with my size. I'm not skinny or fat.  

[bigboypinoy]

I'm asian (Filipino to be exact)... I'm 5 feet 10 inches tall and weigh about 245 pounds right now...

Would you call that skinny?

I used to weigh 220 pounds... and I wasn't even skinny then...

When the weather warms up I'm gonna start jogging again and get rid of that extra weight though... I looked a whole lot better back then... I could probably even get my weight down to 210 pounds and still look alright...  

[Shari-hotsu]

Whoa Im skinny...  

[BlackHammer888]
