    That’s totally fair, the vast majority of your calorie expenditure each day is keeping your body in homeostasis. Also the human body is great at adapting. The more frequently you do an activity the more efficient your body usually becomes at that activity and you burn less kcals. It’s one of...

    Possibly but honestly most people have a very skewed idea of what they think things would look like due to most of the population being overweight/obese

    That’s not about protecting players it’s about protecting team interests

    Are you sure you’re not getting overweight vs obese confused? I’m not aware of the charts changing for adults but 25 years ago I was in middle school so I guess it’s possible but I don’t think so

    Not a dig in you but more of the headline and article as in no way is this new information. This has been the common line of thought for at least a decade

    As long as you’re not in blood thinners and have no thyroid problems you’re fine. Like most supplements it’s not something you need as it’s an amino acid found in food but if you want to take it or if it’s in something else it’s fine. Most likely you’re just going to have more expensive urine

    While this can certainly be the case for many actors in those roles Evans and Hemsworth were pretty much always in extremely good shape. Hemsworth for sure is natural, he has a whole side business on fitness as he just loves working out and has the genetics to see pretty incredible results...

    It’s only 5 pounds till a “healthy” weight so you must have a very tiny leg. Also due to the general population we now have a very skewed idea of what healthy looks like. BMI is fine unless you do a lot of strength training or have a very outside the norm body type. Even then a BMI in your...

    That’s also due to the fact that identical twins are not identical by the time they conduct these studies and environmental factors play a role as well as lifestyle before studies. 3,500 is pretty average but the thing that people forget is that as you lose weight your metabolism changes and...

    It’s like trying to explain anxiety or depression, if you haven’t experienced it you won’t ever really understand

    Also there is the fact that even losing 5-15 lbs for a lot of people isn’t visibly noticeable or still doesn’t have them looking the way they feel they should with the effort they feel they are putting in. If you’re losing 1lb a week rough math has you in a 500kcal deficit every day, even...
