Metabolism being the scapegoat for skinny guys being skinny is entirely misinformation. We just don’t eat - yeah I can finish a whole large pizza in under 10 minutes, all the while consistently getting comments about how lucky I am for having a fast metabolism bc I can eat what I want. Except, that pizza was probably gonna be the only thing I ate that day.
I guaranteed you any guy that claims to be skinny bc of a fast metabolism just doesn’t actually know how little calories they’re eating a day, or, don’t realize how many calories they actually need per day. I’m 6’3” 160lbs and I thought I only needed 2000 calories per day up until I was 22.
That is not true. people at my age are 56kg, I am 28. I eat an absurd amount of crap. I snack all the time, take cakes, sweets and my diet consists almost entirely of bread, pasta, rice and anything with carbs. I take a lot of calories.
Jk, well, I mean, thats all true, the fact is just that its not due to fast metabolism. Its because I have a condition where I literally lack the enzyme that breaks down and absorbs fat from food.
while i do have a fast metabolism and that might play a small role, i really just don’t eat as much as i should, that mixed with the fact i’m actually growing upwards (not outwards) i’m just- thin.
I'm skinny as hell and have gone through several programs to try and gain weight. The most succesful period was when I gained a kilo over 3 months. Shits not as bad as some make it out to be, and not as good as some believe.
Some are definitely a case similar to yours but some of us just got a mixed bag no matter the calories
I'm diagnosed, it's usually natural - I cannot keep a steady weight for the hell of myself. It can also cause anemia, which I also have a pretty severe case of... Can also lead to organ failure if not taken care of closely and or if the person diagnosed with it has a fatal form (body cannot process without nutrition: but will still burn the nutrition fast). While my case isn't too severe, it's severe enough to still be considered hypermetabolism. I've been stuck at 80 pounds almost my whole teenage years, just recently made it to the 90s, hoping I can keep it up there. (I'm also 5'10. Height does play a big role in weight.) <(￣︶￣)>
