Are video games making me skinny?

I needed to know why i am so extremely skinny. Is it because of playing video games all day? I really need this to be addressed because it's kinda ruining my life...

    How on earth are we supposed to know?

    The only information you've given us is a) that you're skinny and b) that you play video games all day. We're supposed to work out exactly why you're the weight you are from that?

    Diet, exercise and genetics are MASSIVE factors in determining your weight. Diseases and health conditions can also have a significant impact.

    Typically, if you're stationary most of the time and you have a high metabolism / don't eat much, you'll be skinny. Typically, if you don't want to be skinny, eat more / exercise more / do both.

      i believe this person suggests that they forget to eat when playing. That is, don't feel hungry.

      I sometimes do that too. If i ate like some glutton at a party/event/whatever, i tend to try and eat less the following days.
      Happened that i came home from work hungry and decided to get my mind off eating, so i played video games until it was time for bed.
      I usually eat healthy and normal, so i don't see this as a disorder, but i'm very slim and like to stay that way(including regular sports and keeping an eye on my diet), and something like this only happens very seldom.

      But i could see someone playing all the time eating less and becoming skinny by that.
      Also note that i only admit to the above paragraph because this is anonymous, i would probably never tell that to someones face -_-

    What kind are you playing? Things like Kinect and Wii are geared more towards moving and excercisng than more traditional consoles.

    Have a few good meals a day, and go outside once in a while. The sun feels amazing on your skin you know!

    Regardless of your weight, playing video games all day isn't healthy. Try something different.

    Sell your consoles and games, then get a life.
