How. The fuck. Are people so fit. Barely trying?

I'm in my mid 20s. I know an astonishing number of people who are absolutely cut and eat, like, a burrito and a tub of ice cream and call it a day. Hit the gym once a week and fuck the other 6 days and call it excercise.

When I started all of this my ex broke up with me and moved on to a bodybuilder. I lost a bunch of weight and wanted to try and get abs for possibly the only time left in my life I could.

I've spent the last year fine tuning my diet, eat almost exclusively whole foods, go to the gym 5 days a week, optimize my rest days, have started taking supplements, and am about to start taking creatine. I still look like someone's fat uncle. What the Hell?
