Well, that's why the silly formula I posted was: calories*(fat+(transfat^2)) = tax $$ Calories alone aren't bad till you combine that with a fatty food, particularly transfatty. I am sure you could add in a ton of other factors, but I don't know many athletes who consume high calorie foods that are also exceptionally high in fat (relative to a big mac, for example), especially trans fat. IMHO, BMI shouldn't be considered. -Cameron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:291614 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
