Combat is physically strenuous, and to make sure that their Armed Forces are operating at their fullest potential, militaries around the world require precise standards for the health and fitness of their servicemen and women.
Sometimes, however, the healthiest and fittest individuals are not always available, and the armed services are forced to recruit those who are not at their peak physically.

Looked like a competition power lifter but could sprint a quarter mile (probably why he passed/maxed his run, cause he would jog the whole time then all out sprint the last section). He ended up getting out cause he was always riding the tape line. Sometimes hed pass cause of his neck, sometimes hed fail cause of his waist, so eventually he just said screw it and got out

Idk what it is but we are only two. I'm not active but I still do push ups. My friend has always been a light eater and that's why he's underweight.

I used to be a recruiter for the USMC in the late 2000s. When joining the US Marine Corps, there's a certain level of height and weight standards acceptable. The point is to give the Drill Instructors a sound enough foundation to start with in training recruits. I did have guys in my Boot Camp Platoon (1993) that the Corps considered overweight Diet Recruits. What they ate was controlled even more than others. You just can't go out and grab a quick bite to eat at McDonalds when you feel like it. Still, even though these guys were Diet Recruits, they were running 1.5 miles, then 2 miles, then 3, etc. Exercising, marching, doing all the same training as everyone else. 12 weeks of physical training and heavily controlled diets, these guys lost a lot of weight.

The grains are what helps to pile on the pounds, the fats are there to make it palatable. People always get carbohydrates' and fats' roles reversed. For anyone who would like an explanation, you simply cannot eat enough fats to become obese, as you lose appetite quickly. Carbohydrates activate a hormone called ghrelin which increases appetite. That's why many fast food places offer free refills on soda and give fries (or similar) alongside the main meal; to encourage you to eat more food. It's also the reason why there's always room in your belly for sweet dessert! EDIT: grammar

Overweight soldiers are rare these days, most services are pretty strict about their fitness requirements, especially Front Line Combat positions. But not everyone in the military is a field soldier, fitness tends to be less of a priority, not to mention harder to maintain, when your job is sitting behind a desk making sure the USS Chesapeake gets enough fuel oil and canned tomatoes. You will find some people in uniform on the extra large side, mostly older desk-jockeys, but no one you can really call Obese.

I don't know if other countries do the same, but at least here in Mexico, your only meal options while on active duty are those provided at the military base's mess hall and nothing else (which by the way, normally consist of scrambled eggs or a piece of meat with beans or some vegetables, together with tortillas or a piece of bread).

Just pointing something out, the "fat" gladiators from what I've heard was a bit like the strongmen or sumo wrestlers of today. Sumo wrestlers may look fat but they only have about 25% body fat and are crazily muscly underneath the fat, 25% is right at the limit where you become overweight as a man. The average American has a bit over 45% body fat, meaning obese. Further more, sumo wrestlers has most of their fat right under their skin, which is why it's so visible. But it's the deep fat around your organs that's really detrimental to your health, that's the fat you get by not exercising.

Although obese soldiers were rare and usually a liability, in wars it was not uncommon to see men who weigh around 220- 250 pounds, and in fact this was almost ideal in many jobs, as body mass often helps with carrying heavy objects. This is why most world record holding weight lifters are slightly fatter and more muscular, rather than slim and with 8 pack.

[@smileyeagle1021]

Also, worth pointing out, that an extra 20 pounds of fat works out to an extra 70,000 calories that soldier has in reserve if supply lines get broken and they lose access to rations. If 20 pounds of body fat isn't going to hinder their physical mobility, that sounds like a pretty big asset.

And when you were on the defensive, it is a lot harder for a 5'4 starving farmer conscript to get past you in the same way. Of course, whether or not you can maintain that weight is a different issue. The idea of supply lines is fairly modern. As in "around the time people started used muskets" modern.
