that is not true. its a good guideline to start with, but adults have a higher metabolic rate then young people. when you work out, diet, cardio, you are training your metabolism, and with time, it increases. young people are believed to have a higher rate, but that is because your body grows until 25. that is why they burn so many more calories. most professional bodybuilders, powerlifters, fitness women, etc are all in the late 20’s early 30’s range. did you ever see how fast a bodybuilder(even natural) can drop weight for a show? they can lose around 5-7lbs per week, for about a month. im not knocking what you posted, it has some good points, but overall, the more seasoned you are in the weight room/gym/exercise, you will have a higher metabolism…

I agree 100%…I posted it as a starting point…the article I got it from stated that as well…good points though
