When should a school intervene? Never? (school lunch issue)

Protein Powder for Weight Loss?

"Dad-Bod"? WTH?
My wife inadvertently inspired me by mentioning something called 'dad-bod" where men prefer something between a beer gut and working out. ¿¿¿¿¿WTH????? I see that as surrender. The subsequent photo of chubby men watching a ballgame has become my phone background- reminding me of the WAR!

Am I losing LBM?
Sorry I'm new to all the science, so go easy on me. So I've seen it repeated that you should _never_ go below 1200 cals/day (unless you're on one of those 5:2 plans).
