I didn't fit any of those categories. I'm somewhere between your "thin" and "athletic" category. I exercise daily and I go to the gym regularly, but not on the schedule you posted. I do a daily routine of some push-ups, sit-ups, and basic lifts at home. I make it into a gym maybe twice a week for a mix of cardio and lifting. I "eat anything I want" most of the time, but I have parameters for my weight and waist. If my waist hits 36" or my weight goes more than 10lbs above my preferred weight then I go into calorie control mode until I'm back where I should be. It happens once or twice a year that I'm controlling for a couple of weeks. So I alternate between calorie control, and doing whatever I want, but in relatively narrow bands--I don't wait until I am 40lbs overweight before doing something about it.
