How Much does Wonder Woman Weigh ?


A woman's ideal body weight is dependent upon her height and age. 

The taller you are the how much does wonder woman weigh? She weighs about as much, unrealistically, as a 6'0" woman who is extremely athletic and very powerful: 64 kgs(140 lbs). TBH, I suspect that there's some fanboy wish fulfillment going on here, and that she's been given measurements which are disproportionate to her abilities and to reality(at least as far a comic book can go anyways, lol). 


A woman of any average size with an athletic frame is going to weigh quite a bit more than this, with 6'+ women in the WNBA hovering around 170lbs...and even then, those ladies look rather skinny compared to the full-figured and powerful Wonder Woman, lol. On top of this, I would expect that because she is created from clay by the Olympian gods that she would also bear some additional extra mystical weight which would allow for her super-strength, durability, etc.

Of course, it could be exactly that extra mystical aspect which accounts for her super-abilities...such as making her heavier and more dense under certain scenarios, such as during combat, etc. and more like normal weight when she's under more civil conditions(so as not to crush buildings or supporting structures, etc), she *can* fly, after all. 

Just eyeballing it, I would more realistically put Wonder Woman's weight at somewhere about 175-225 lbs *at least*, if not WAY more...like in the multiple hundreds if we're talking about mystical Olympian clay-flesh that is "as strong as the earth"(and for those of you screaming that this would make her the same weight as Superman, just keep in mind that I have the same preconceptions about him as well).

Protein Rich Food


Spread out protein intake throughout the day instead of mega doses just once or twice. A serving of protein along with healthy carbs after a workout is a must to help tired muscles recover.

Here are some tantalizing ways to work protein into your meals and snacks no matter what time of day you exercise. 

Below is a list of foods with the highest protein density, for more information, see the sections on other protein rich foods...

Chocolate Keeps You Slim



The Independent headline was remarkably similar. Chocolate can help keep you slim. Chocolate lovers have one more reason to feel good about indulging in their favourite treat. Eating chocolate frequently was associated with a a lower body mass ... So it is not surprising that it can help keep you regular and help keep.

People couldn't believe their ears when Hollywood star Katharine Hepburn attributed her slim physique to chocolates. It sounds whack, but a new scientific study suggests that people who eat chocolate regularly tend to be thinner. Sadly, that doesn't quite mean that you can run out and stuff your face full of candy all day to keep your weight down—but it does mean you probably should be eating some chocolate regularly.

The study of nearly 1,000 US people, conducted by the University of California at San Diego, analyzed diet, calorie intake and BMI. It found that those who ate chocolate a few times a week were slimmer than those who ate it less frequently. Why? The researchers suggest that, despite containing so many calories, chocolate contains compounds that favor weight loss.

The link even remained when other factors—including exercise—were accounted for. What's more, the study, which appears in Archives of Internal Medicine, suggests that quantities aren't important; instead, it's the frequency of chocolate consumption that is linked to low BMIs.

Beatrice Golomb, one of the researchers, explained to the BBC: "Our findings appear to add to a body of information suggesting that the composition of calories, not just the number of them, matters for determining their ultimate impact on weight."
The researchers suggest that the compounds in chocolate that are associated with lower BMI are antioxidants called catechins, which improve lean muscle mass and reduce weight.

Before you grab the candy, though, it's worth noting that the study observed lower BMIs in participants that consumed chocolate a few times a week, and even then the quantities didn't matter.

So, a little bit of chocolate a few times a week should be plenty. Any more, and the sugar and fat will have the dominant effect.
