Yes.  I have small bones and weigh 160 lb.  He has large bones and weighs
215.

Aside from the obvious differences in size and proportion, that's hard to
know.  I eat a raw paleo diet; he eats SAD.  He's not particularly attracted
to large slabs of meat; he has a strong preference for Italian and Mexican
dishes, especially those with a lot of cheese.  He rarely eats dessert or
sweets.  Taking supplements, especially vitamin C, make him feel worse, so
he avoids them.  I drink spring water; he drinks Guinness, Dalwhinnie and
gallons of coffee.  Despite all that, he appears to have boundless energy,
is a senior executive in a thriving computer consulting company and plays a
very active role in a volunteer-run adult literacy program.
