AYRT--Yeah, I can see it making sense, but I've only read one book where a fat character was explicitly shown losing weight from using magic, and he had to stay fat or risk death.

All the other magic=exercise parallels in fantasy seemed much closer to blood sugar crashing to me.

And it doesn't help that fat people who exercise lots in real life get told we're lying, must eat like pigs, or both.

I don't see that changing in a world where doing magic burns calories unless it's explicitly laid out that fat magicians have an advantage over thin ones because bigger bodies=more reserves. And even then, I could see the stigma that we have it easy developing instead.

Because I eat better than most people I know, and exercise more than most people I know, but I'm still fat with high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and I go to the doctor with my phone's fitness tracker already open to prove that I'm not sedentary.

And it doesn't matter; I'm magically supposed to live off air and lettuce and exercise every second I'm not asleep, instead of what I actually do: exercise a couple hours a day, only drink water, be vegetarian and cook from scratch meals heavy on whole grains, beans, veggies, and fruit for 30+ years and counting, never smoke or do any drugs or drink, and still have shit health and be fat.

Sorry for the rant. I just don't think that a world where magic burns calories would necessarily mean everyone who's fat now would, er, magically end up skinny. Not unless it was explicit that magic turned users into walking skeletons unless they ate constantly or something.
