height is 80 percent genetics and 20 percent other factors as nutrition etc
during times of hunger people were shorter
The thing is bru im not hungry to eat nigga? Like I understand if ur malnourished or eating disorder where ur hungry but dont/cant eat but i dont have that. Im js not hungry and only eat what will maintain my current bodyweight
 
  • Woah
  • Hmm...

u would prolly still grow taller if u have ur nutrition perfected and u have a normal bodyweight
My mom is 5’2.5 and my dad is 5’6.5
Im 5’10.5 at 16. There’s no reason for me to even be this tall to begin with

my dad is 5 11 my mon is 5 7 and im 6 1 at 16 its just genetics brah same goes for you
I understand that but wouldnt this be contrary to my growth being stunted?
I also remember when I was very young the doctor predicted my final adult height to be 5’10-6’1, which aligns with my current trajectory
And based off my parents heights I should only be like 5’7-5’8

well ur growth potential could still be higher than what u reach even tho ur alr doing good and got blessed by genetics u most certainly could do better if u werent underweight ig and scratch one inch or so out of ur growth potential
Im ngl bru i dont think this is true. Makes no sense. Ive grown at the same rate basically my entire life

Think it will effect if you don’t have the good nutrition, but I can’t conclude but I think it does,

I was always overweight so enough nutrition :lul:

Weight doesn't really matter, moreso the calories. As long as you don't starvemaxx, even if you're underweight and just maintain you should reach your genetic potential.

Yes i never get hungry like someone who’s in poverty or with an eating disorder. I only eat what will maintain my current weight and i dont crave anything further
 
what exactly doesnt make sense i can tell u that there are countless scientific studies on this
I dont show any signs of stunted growth, if anything the opposite.

Im wondering if these studies are for people who were FORCIBLY, either physically (like thru poverty) or mentally (like an ED), malnourished. Cuz im not one of those

Cuz I mean the reality is here that i would have to put a significant amount of physical effort to even get to 10% bf or 17+ BMI. Whereas a person with an ED for example would js have to overcome the psychological aspect. Or a person who’s malnourished cuz of poverty would js have to be given food
 
I remember one time when I was 12 I was very underweight and nearly had to be hospitalized cuz of it but that’s cuz I wasn’t eating on purpose (I forgot why tbh). Once I got back to my normal weight the doctor said I was fine

What’s your diet?
Idk js basic stuff. I usually have 1-3 meals a day, depending on how hungry i am. Always some sort of protein like bacon, eggs, meat, etc.
And then ig bread and maybe like ice cream

Why im confused is that unlike ppl with an eating disorder or malnourished cuz of poverty, i dont have a desire to eat. Im not hungry, i only eat what will maintain my current weight. If I wanted to gain weight, id have to put significant physical effort into doing so

If you eat like that then it’s fine. Red meat ideally.

As long as you are actually following your hunger signaling I don’t see an issue.

It's normal for young people to be lean. You were probably feed garbage if you were a fluffy fat pig.

I would say continue to eat eggs and tons of meat even if u don’t feel like it to maximize growth. Cut out the bacon because it has no real nutritional value.

Also I suggest buying halal meat since its slaughtered in the most humane way guaranteeing it to be of higher quality than non halal meat

Yeah i think it only stunts growth if u forced urself (ie thru an ED) or were forced (ie thru poverty) to not eat
