Will i ever get fatter???

Question

I was wonder why i never get fat???

Like i can eat any thing i want and as much as i want ^,^, (mainly fatty foods, and i even eat more then really fat people) ... and i know i don't have to worry about getting fatter... i do eat healthy food as well, and as well, walk a bit so often (just to keep my body healthy - 10min walk).. i also never change weight... i'm ALWAYS 50 kg...

i know alot of people that want to get rid of their fat... but i want to gain some fat at least, instead of people always saying i eat nothing, and just bone&skin...

~17 yr old.

Is there any one else that have this??? why do i have this??? and will i ever get my chance to actually gain something ^,^ ??

Answer 1

You've been blessed with a high metabolism, which will slow down as time progresses.

Answer 2

As you get older, your metabolism will slow down.  And that weight will catch up to you.  As of now, eat more protien and build muscle.  

Answer 3

It's genetics, really. You have a fast metabolism (Which is not that unusual in teenage boys especially!)

For all the screaming about diets and exercise out there, people tend to forget that the majority of body shape is determined by body type, not by diet. (Obviously a FEW people eat way too much or way too little, but for the most part, our bodies are regulated by systems we have no control over.)

Take a look at your parents - are they fat or thin? If both your parents are skinny and have always been skinny and don't go on crazy diets to get that way, you'll probably stay skinny for a long, long time.

Most people's metabolism slows as they age, so you'll naturally put on weight as you get older, until you get REALLY old and then you'll start to get skinny again.
