Is normal i eat but never gain weight?

Ever since I was born I've always had a huge appetite. It seems that no matter how much I eat I can't gain weight. Most girls would like this and say they wish they were me. I don't like it as much. I'm actually starting to see my ribs.

    Sounds like you have a super fast metabolism. If you are really concerned see a doctor.

  • I am sure you are still young. Enjoy this effect while it lasts because once you get older your metabolism is going to naturally slow down.

    • Yep. It seems to happen to men a few years later than women, but both seem to lose that ultra-high metabolism in their early to mid twenties.

      To the OP: Have your doctor do a blood test to make sure your thyroid is functioning properly. Other than that, you could try a bit of body-building as a healthy way to add some shape to your body without gaining a lot of extra fat.

    I'm the same. I believe it's due to a fast metabolism. It'll slow down a bit as you get older.

    I am seriously hating you right now. I have to exercise and watch out what I eat all the time or I get fat

    Enjoy it while it lasts. :D I ate like a lumberjack as a teen and was slightly underweight. Now my metabolism is still naturally better than the average for someone my age, but I can't eat three pizzas in one day and not gain weight like I used to. Hardest part about my twenties was suddenly getting consequences for my eating habits.
