Being taller helps. I’m a little fat at 5’8”. If I go to lunch with someone 6’3” and we both eat the same food and the same amount, I may get fat while he remains slim just because I have less area to spread out the food.
Exactly. I am 5 ft 8 inches and my sister is about 5 ft 4 inches. She can’t eat half as much as I can without gaining weight. But it is catching up with both of us now. Our mother hated to cook, was a terrible cook, so I was a SKINNY KID! LOL
