A new study proves what every woman over the age of 50 knows all too well: you just can’t eat the way you used to without putting on the pounds. Muscle mass declines with age, calorie needs do too. Activity helps some, but not enough. I think it’s totally unfair, by the way, but I’m guessing the same thing happens to men (but they have more muscle to begin with). Anyway, alas.
