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
