Dude, so not an issue. They only ask what you've eaten and drank in the past 24 hours.
So did you check no for the alcohol box? Asking because lets be real, a lot of people have had a beer in their life before applying to this job lol

It's very specific. List everything you've eaten or drank in the past 24 hours. Including alcohol. I do not recall having to answer anything along those lines for more than 24 hours. Stopnstressinh the little things. You will not be DQ'd for answering that question truthfully (yes I had a beer, okay cool you're over 21.... No I didn't. Okay good)

Just another word of advice for those who haven't gone to their Medical yet... If you KNOW Your BMI classifies you as obese or overweight. Start dieting and going to the gym at LEAST three times a week if you have time of course. If not, make some time. One thing they tend to catch people on is weight. Kind of messed up I know. But here is my advice:
1) look into a low carb high protein diet. (Atkins diet works wonders)
2) do LOTS of cardio training for a month and minimal weight training.

Hey you'll be fine. My height and weight are exactly the same as yours and I had no issues with weight when I went last month. You can't be over 30 bmi which is about 225-230 for me and you. Your good. Good luck on the rest of the stations bro.

Lol dude you should be fine. I'm 5'10" started at 220. They asked me to lose 10% of that in a month. It is VERY doable if you cut some carbs out of your diet and excercise.

Six months later down to 182

your call,, but understandably I would call and inquire,
I would wait at least until the end of the day or tomorrow. I'm sure there are a number of people making calls. Unless there is only one person making calls, they can't go exactly in order number by number.
