My rules for exercise: it has to be enjoyable, cheap, and portable. Gyms are none of those things. I stick with bodyweight training and running. Jump rope when the weather is bad enough to make running outside a health risk. Plus it's easier to throw on a pair of shoes or take half an hour to do a full bodyweight set than…

You could ask your doctor to see if your growth plates have fused, but even if they haven't you're not likely to be given any sort of treatment at 5'7". That's not a particularly short height in the grand scheme of things. (I'm 5'0", trust me, I know.)

This has been my experience as well. In my case it's due to a combination of metabolic factors that are only barely managed even with a standard diet, supplements, and strict monitoring. My vegan/strict-vegetarian friends have seen me struggle with meeting all my nutritional needs, but they continue to insist I could be…

Honestly, I'm far more concerned about ensuring my daughter knows that her fashion choices have no impact on whether or not she's attacked. Particularly since the vast majority of children are sexually assaulted by relatives or close family friends who certainly have occasion to see her without childishly applied play make…

I honestly know nothing at all about protein powders in general though. I go entirely based on whether or…

You're comparing two completely different things. Cups are a unit of volume, they measure how much of something will fit into a three dimensional space. Grams are a unit of mass, for these purposes they estimate how much that volume of something will weigh. (It's more complicated than that because weight and mass aren't…

If your doctor actually said you have a fast metabolism without first having you accurately (with a scale) log your food and daily activities you need a new doctor. I say this as someone who was diagnosed with a metabolic disorder as a child and has only in the last year been able to go down to a normal caloric intake. You…

For me it's been entirely about finding a bottle I like in a size that I'll actually use. It's odd, but I've found that the aesthetic aspect influences how much I drink more than anything else. If a water bottle is too unwieldy or lacks a sport top I'm far less likely to drink from it than if it's a comfortable size with a…
