Potential height

2017-10-26 00:50:39
Hi I’m currently 16 years of age, 5’7 without shoes, 5’8 with shoes, I recently went to a pediatrician to discuss my height and get an X-ray of my growth plates, I was told that I had 6 months left of growth (in height). I was wondering how many inches I could get in by then on a protein based diet (soy milk, meat, shakes) ?
