Most women who play sports are young and also being skinny is healthy. It’s one of the strongest predictors of age. It’s true that not all women would want to wear the uniform but it’s not worth trying to include them because it ruins much of the appeal of it. They aren’t being forced to play and also people aren’t forced to change their style to placate the masses.
I’m not perfectly skinny but I have made big improvements. I eat pretty well and also I keep my weight lower. Often times it’s just habbits people have. There are certain foods you shouldn’t eat because they are not good. Healthy food is also delicious and you don’t have to eat massive amounts. I eat between 1-3 meals a day and I just keep my calories in mind.
