Hard to tell if this is the TheWiseShopper or if s/he is just lean but with a body fat composition that won't lead to a six pack showing

Not sure if I'm getting as much calories as I should be to bulk up like Dwayne Johnson, but trying to eat as healthy as possible and trying to boost my protein intake as much as I can.
Fair enough. That sounds like a good plan. When I'm trying to build muscle, I do tend to count calories. I don't absolutely avoid junk food, but I don't go out of my way to get it either.

Yes, I guess I am a fatty! So good that I’m not trying to eat too much. Just some exercise and a better diet, I can hopefully become lean and mean!

I know. I can make it six months and then I have to revisit old favorites. But, I haven't been diagnosed yet. I need to grow up and make it permanent.

I don’t exaggerate my height. Many people think I shortchange myself because people think I look 6 feet tall. It was my dream to become that tall, but didn’t quite make it.

I'm just teasing. You know they say guys exaggerate their height by an inch or two and girls take off 5-10 pounds.
