Do you know any good cooks who are also very in shape/healthy?

Not at all hard. I am one of those foodies, I prefer gourmand and a skilled home cook.
I wait for food that I like. I cook what I want to eat. I research and go shopping at ethnic markets. I have never been more than 120lbs. I am 51 and 5'4". Until 47, I was 107lbs. I love to eat, love it.
Love to cook too.
I do calorie cycling and have no trouble with my weight.

Somebody doesn't know the difference between "gourmand" and "gourmet"

It really depends on the person. My sister is a great cook/foodie and is very thin. I like to joke that I got all the height and she got all the metabolism. She's one who could eat all day long and not gain an ounce. At least right now. She's in her early 30's.

My best friend. She is an amazing cook, makes all of these creative delicious meals. But she also exercises and loves being outdoors (hikes, runs, walks, bike rides).

Silly question I know. I've noticed my Italian and French friends who live in their respective countries are generally slim and in great shape and love to cook. It seems like in the US people who are into cooking tend to be less health conscious/a bit overweight? Am I nuts?

Try the Italian store. The owner is a Type 1 diabetic and therefore they have a couple non-oversweet options around. Like pretty much everyone Type 1. averse to sweeteners he is thin.

Indeed. You don't know the difference. PP above does.

Bobby Flay. I read he eats at restaurants all the time but never finishes a whole plate.
