I did, but because I was born in the early-80s. Yeah, I'm an "old" fuck.
PE classes used to have physical fitness tests. Once a year during my elementary/middle school: Timed-mile run, timed push-/pull-/chin-/sit-ups, weight, height, flexibility, and body fat percentage were recorded. Our marks were compared to what was healthy for our height and age. PE teachers would give us a red-and-white printout (that was our "report card" for PE class) to take home to parents. If a child was overweight or below-average, there was a comments section on the bottom of the printout about how to correct the problem. No surprise, it was "more fruits/vegetables in your child's diet and more physical activity." Also, a quick blurb about caloric intake.
Calorie maintenance used to be the accepted way of losing/maintaining weight... until the diet industry came in with a metric shit-ton of static to swamp out that truth. Guy or girl, if you could "pinch an inch" (of fat) back in my day, you could afford to lose weight.
