The myth of age and weightloss?
I saw a post about being older and it being harder to lose weight and easier to gain. When you look it up it says a 20 year old man burns 10 - 15 percent more than a 50 year old all else being the same. My question... is all else the same: When i was a kid I played games and sports all day. When i was a teen I played games…
