[Split] Romance in Randland

[Ekho 52]

Perrin was muscled rather than fat, it was because of all those hours working in the blacksmiths

[Brynefan 2]

I said kind of fat and that does not have to mean really fat. Most men who aquire muscles by work tend to put on weight as well. Only athletes get those purely muscular bodies. And my brother, but he's eating too little.

[Tosh 8]

What about people who build up their upper body muscles by walking on cruches and riding wheelchairs for nine years?

[Brynefan 2]

It's depending on how much the person eats. Swinging a sledgehammer all day makes you hungry. Working men tend to eat too much because they think that they deserve and need it. There are those who simply don't gain weight no matter what they eat as well.

 

OK, Perrin is probably not even close to fat, but I doubt that he's all muscle. Those men are actually a lot more vulnerable to both starvation and fatigue. Fat is good, in healthy amounts.
