Don't believe age plays a part. Older people generaly burn less because they have less muscle mass and are less active.
Both of which you take into account to measure what you burn.
Use your noggin, numpty.
They're less active because their bodies are necessarily lowering their muscle mass to sustain important organs and functions. Muscle is "active tissue". The body needs to work to sustain it. So are organs. After ~30 years old the average male's body produces ~1% less testosterone per year. That lowers ability to be active. That lowers the body's ability to make and heal muscle tissue and other tissues as well.
They have less muscle mass because they're old. That's the rule. You're wrong. Dumbass.
So you are agreeing with me?
