But most often, I make tea at home. 2 spoons of sugar and about 30ml of milk. I have only twice a day. I used to have 4 times a day, sometime ago though.
OMG that's a lot! :shock:
Thats about 50 calories each cup. Why is it a lot?

I'm not Asian, but I've always drank my tea strong and black as well. (don't do coffee at all).

As far as "Oriental" Asian fitness is concerned, Lynx is an exception to the average. ;-)

The vast majority here are not "fit". Thin/slender, yes, but fit? Nah. Do a body fat test and they are way up there. Little, if any, muscle tone at all.

With 2 spoons of sugar and about 30ml of milk, not to mention the water, i don't know why you bother adding tea!

Depends on how you look at them. Thin people can often be way more unhealthy than mildly over weight people. I read this definition of skinny fat the other day.
A person who is not overweight and have skinny look but still have a high fat percentage and low muscular mass. Usually those people have a low caloric diet, that's why they are skinny, but are not involved in any sports activities or trainings and that's why they don’t have any muscle. Since between the bone and the skin those people only have fat, the skin can be deformed easily because the skin layer is located on an unstable matter (fat).

Skinny fat woman look sexy from a certain distance but they have soft jelly skin and still have some cellulite even if they are in there early 20.

The Antonym of ‘Skinny fat’ could be ‘Fit’ or ‘Tight’ or ‘Athletic’.

Besides, it takes a lot to control your cravings and remain so thin. I mean, people say Singapore food is great then how come man people can control themselves and be so thin.

Indian's food is great and just look at them :cool:

I had a colleague once who openly in the office stated that he often went to eat at KFC because chicken is lean and healthy....

One of the most important factors in weight gain is the timing of meals. Skipping breakfast, a light lunch and then a heavy supper means that your body is full of calories, but isn't using them, so it turns them into fat. A good breakfast, a regular lunch and a light supper means that the majority of the calories have been consumed whilst the metabolism is active, and you are less likely to gain weight.

The second important factor is snacking. The coffee here is regularly served with approximately 50% of your calorie needs in each cup.

Wow. You clearly have no clue what you're talking about. But then again, you're not a doctor as evident by your signature.
