Reasons why

I need to eat 3700 calories a day. Do ya all remember when I was monitoring what I was eating? Ya it's like that but I need to eat more. My target weight is one hundred and seventy five pounds at less than ten percent body fat. I am currently at one hundred and sixty five pounds and stuck there. Months ago I was barely breaking one hundred and fifty seven pounds and that was probably more than well hydrated. I have gained a consistent ten pounds in three months. In the holiday months you would think gaining weight would be easy, but it is not. Over eating ruins my appetite, and the many people that know me, knows that I can eat a lot and this is no understatement. When I was younger I drank a lot of milk. Whole milk, two percent, I drank it all. I do not know if that contributed to my growth, but I think it had. We are all taller than are parents, by one sole reason. We are feed better. We are meeting nutrition goals. This allows are bodies too grow bigger. I remember in the first presidential debate of the 2008 election. Republican candidate, John McCain said the North Koreans are four inches shorter than South Koreans. (I think it was four). His point was that North Koreans are more malnourished than South Koreans. He could have chosen a better indicator but that was what was written on his crib sheet. Children do not know what type of person they want to be, but a lot of people would say as adults 'they would like to be taller'. If children grow up to become adults, then by logic they would like to be taller and yet the only known factors that contribute to height is genetics, nutrition, and disease. Genetics and some diseases can not be controlled, but nutrition can. So if you want to satisfy your children never let them skip a meal.
