<p>My Mid lost about 15 pounds during plebe summer. He was quite muscular and very fit going in. Some of the muscle mass was lost since the activities tended to be much more cardiovascular in nature and as a result, burn a lot of calories. He had lifted weights on a regular basis and lost some of the muscle mass that he had going in. Many of the recruits for football tend to lose a bunch of weight and have to work very hard during the academic year to gain it back. Not too many Plebes see much action on the field the Plebe year as a result.</p>
<p>i lost weight during plebe summer, then gained it back during the ac year. i don't think that there's a huge "people not eating" problem at the academy, although dahlgren will become a safe haven. im going there in like 10 minutes actually. </p>
<p>i'm not one to complain about the food in king hall, because its only going to get worse during the next 3 years as they renovate king hall and like half the brigade will eat in dahlgren. i'm no soothsayer, but im going to predict quality won't be going up.
in general, the food is bad. i like the breakfasts though, and the calzones and pasta bar are DELISH. although that may be in comparison.
diet kitchen is an option for vegetarians, but don't expect crazy choices. mostly there's cereal, milk, eggs, yogurt, cheese, and granola bars. and the ladies there are like the soup nazi from seinfeld. its ridiculous.</p>

<p>Oy, vey! What a PITA!</p>
<p>the best/worst decision they made this week was to add ice cream bars and popicles for dinner meal every night</p>
<p>choco taco!</p>
<p>So what will they be "renovating" in King Hall?</p>
<p>Will they finally get rid of the pigeons? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>the tables, the ceiling, stuff. there was a drawing of the design that the supe showed us at a brief and it looked pretty neat.</p>
<p>choco tacos will be my undoing. THEY ARE HEAVEN. everyone in my squad tries to take a box up to their room.</p>
<p>I LOVE CHOCO TACOS!! I'm coming up there.</p>
<p>Uh........ Huh?</p>
<p>Choco-what?</p>
<p>Am I missing something?</p>
<p>really good but really fattening.</p>
<p>OMG. I gained ten pounds just LOOKING at that! :eek:</p>
<p>Looks delish... and disheartening.</p>
