Question 4

i work out a bit and also do 15 minutes of bike cardio every 2 days, but i'm having trouble losing my belly. i need a food plan based on my height.

Accepted Answer

Hit the fitness hard: Many guys your age work out harder. Nobody counts calories especially at your age. If you're trying to bulk, 1 gram of lean protein per day per pound that you weigh is an ideal. Otherwise, low-sugar, low-grease, lots of fruits ; vegetables, stay a little bit hungry. The harder you work your body -- and at your age you're at your peak and your body craves it -- the more you'll find you eat right.

Question 5

most people reach max height in late teens w/o nutritional problems and chronic childhood illness height based mainly on genes..wat do yu mean by that?

Accepted Answer

Height growth: Most of the time your height velocity (how quickly you increase your height) is genetically determined. Boys usually finish growing in their late teens, but may have a second small growth spurt after 18 (if it runs in your family). Eat healthy foods and exercise regularly, but you really can't change your height.

Pediatrician helpful: An undersized child's pediatrician can be helpful. The doctor will check the child's growth chart from the last few years, look at the food diary and activities diary recorded by the parents, compare the child's size with the size of parents and siblings, check the blood count and chemistries, look for an underlying illness, and assess the mood of the child and parents. Start with a pediatrician.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

More genetics: How tall you are is related to nutrition and genetics more than one hormone (growth hormone).  It is not that the hormone does not help and is needed but it does not predetermine your size.
