High Metabolism

What Is A High Metabolism

A high metabolism means that the body is burning calories at a greater rate than average. People with high metabolisms can generally eat more food without gaining additional weight which can sometimes be seen as a perk. For others who are forced to constantly consume large amounts of food on a daily basis to maintain their weight, a high metabolism might feel like a curse.

Someone with a high metabolism will frequently alter their diet so they can consume nutrients that are better for weight gaining. In addition to changing the type of food they eat, an increase in the quantity that is eaten may be necessary as well depending on how fast the metabolism is.

What Is The Downside Of A High Metabolism

If you have a high metabolism you might notice that you are having trouble keeping on weight. Even though you think you might be consuming plenty of food if your body is burning it quickly this can result in weight loss. In order to prevent weight loss it is important to understand your daily caloric intake. Keep a food journal which lists what you eat and how many calories each meal contains. You can use this to help you figure out your average daily caloric intake. Once you have figured out your caloric intake you can use it to determine how much more you need to eat every day in order to maintain or gain additional weight. For some this is easier said than done.

A high metabolism during adolescence might contribute to issues during puberty. Young females that have a high metabolism might struggle to keep on weight. Without enough body fat they might not be able to begin normal menstrual cycles.

If you are unable to keep on weight because of a high metabolism you might have a harder time dealing with potential health issues in the future.

What Are The Benefits Of A High Metabolism

As a body with a high metabolism burns food at a much faster rate a person might be able to consume a lot more food without ever putting on addition weight. For some people this is great and they can indulge day after day in their favorite meals.

If you do have a slow or average metabolism you might try to maximize your metabolism by exercising. With frequent exercise you can help to jump start your body’s metabolism which will help you to burn off those extra calories when you need to.

I have high metabolism and I am almost 31 yrs old, as I have gotten older my family would always say when I hit my 30's I would gain weight. It hasnt happened yet! I love my body, I dont look like tooth-pick, but I am skinny weighing at about 104lbs, 5'6 . I eat like a horse and can not gain weight! I want to be 120lbs, so maybe one day!!!

I am 20 years old and have a very high metabolism. The funny thing is, when I was younger my metabolism wasn't as high. Right now I'm about 5'5" and 101.6 lbs. I hate the way my body looks, my bones are showing all over the place. I've tried to gain weight but as soon as I do it's gone again. For example the other day right before bed I weighed myself was 104.3 lbs, and the next morning I was shocked to see that I lost 3 lbs in my sleep. My family doesnt even know what to think of it, I eat and eat, and lose weight. I say it is a curse.

My friend calls me a "GIMBA" well i dont know what that means but she says a gimba is a person who doesnt stop eating. I crave for anything nice that i see, i just cant resist nice food unless i am really full and i am not interested to eat anything. But i have to say i love my body, i dont want to gain wait, but i am scared of the potential health problems i might experience in the future as i have read ontop, i eat about anything but nothing is happening, not that i want something to happen though...

I am 27 and i have been 150 pounds for almost 10 years now. My doctor says my metabolism rate is that of an active 12 year old. I consume about 3500 calories a day, any less and I feel sick. It gets expensive when you sometimes have to order 2 meals at a restaurant, but I still don't gain any weight.

Joyce 2 years ago

I am 19 going on 20 in two days and at 5'5" I weigh 115 lbs. My doctor told me that I'm 10 pounds underweight and I had to go for blood test because of it. My friends and family tell me to gain weight to the point where they're accusing me of deliberately starving myself. The worst part is I eat all the damn time!!! I eat and eat and eat, but nothing happens and when I do gain weight, I lose like within hours. I need help, can somebody let me know a way to gain weight AND keep it? Thanks !!! :D

Everyone, I'd just like to tell you that you CAN gain weight and mass if you have a high metabolizm.

I have a high metabolizm too, And i figured out my body burns fat like gasoline in a car. So what is the one thing that can make me gain weight besides fat?

MUSCLES of course! Start working out, and apply to a good high-protein diet. I Don't have a single ounce of fat on me, but I'm very good built, and my bones don't stick out everywhere.

I'm an 18 year old guy, 5"9 and I have a very high metabolism. I'm always eating. I find myself in the kitchen every ten minutes eating and looking for more things to eat. Whenever I finish eating, I still feel hungry. I don't eat anything healthy and constantly go to fast food places about 4-5 times a week, once or twice a day. Yet, I am at the same weight for years; 145. I find it crazy how thin I am when I know my eating habits will lead a person, with an average metabolism, to obesity.

i think my metabolism rate changed. :X i'm a female, 15, 1.6m and 41kg. i used to be 47kg, looked fat, and so went on a diet. then i lost 7kg in a year. today my mum said i look ugly cos i'm too skinny and my frens keep saying i eat so little. the truth is, i eat like a pig and they marvelled when i told them what i ate for lunch. so they told me i had a high metabolism rate. i don think i look ugly, it's great to have this thing. :)

I have a high metabolism, and a few months ago weighed 120 lbs as a 20 year old 6 ft man. However, I have taken to smoking marijuana before dinner (and sometimes lunch) and my weight as increased to 135 lbs in a mere 4 months. I'm not advocating this approach, simply telling you my personal situation.

But now im worried that my new girlfriend will feel put off with my very visible bones everywhere i eat way loads more than everyone i no and they even comment on it. i dont no what to do.....

Marley 2 years ago

This is for the young girls: I was like you, 17 years old, 90 pounds and ate everything in sight. I didn't like being thin either. Once I hit my late 20's though and saw how women worried about everything they ate, couldn't have pasta or desert without freaking out, couldn't stop their bodies from spreadin out, I realized I was lucky. I'm forty now and look great.

You'll only be young for a while, then for the rest of your life you'll get to stay thin and never have to go on a diet. You'll be the envy of all other women. It sucks now, but just wait. It's awesome.

Christine 2 years ago

I have had high metabolism since I was born. I am 24 right now and I am 5 ft .75 inches and I range from 85-92 lbs. It never stays. After I eat I would go weigh myself and I would see I maybe gain a lb or 2 then 10 mins later it would go down 5 lbs. It does suck sometimes b.c I want to have some body fat to stay a little warmer in the winter lol. But i always have low/high energy all the time. I know seems like weird but soo true.

LeAnn 2 years ago

I am the same, I'm 12 and I weigh about 8 stone, and I'm about 5'7. I was always taller and skinnier than all my classmates, and sometimes i get called anorexic and talked about behind my back. It's good that I can eat whatever I want (I love food) but the minus is that I practically have no body fat, resulting me looking like a toothpick. And you know how girls this age are striving after having a good body, well for me it's kind of impossible because of my metabolism.

I am 33 years old. All of my life I have been called anorexic and told that I look like a toothpick. I am 5'10 and weigh 108 lbs. It used to bother me when people said those things but now when I see them they tell me that they would give anything to look the way that I do. After having 2 kids my body weight DROPPED back to its normal weight within weeks with no diet or exercise. I am thrilled and blessed to have such high metabolism.

Richard 2 years ago

IS ANYONE HERE WORKING OUT 3-5 TIMES A WEEK CONSISTENTLY? I was 5'10 male, 120lbs - terrible. I worked out for 9 months straight 3-5 times a week for 1-2 hours a day, eat before and after, 2 protein shakes a day, 5-6 meals a day and I gained 30 lbs. When I stopped I lost 10lbs in just over a month. SO if we want to gain weight we must workout CONSISTENTLY!!!!! ALL GOOD FOODS muscle doesn't grow on anything but home made food. For reps, between 8-12 for 4 SETS. 2 Min breaks in between sets, if your heart rate goes too low (waiting too long between sets) you won't feel the results as fast and it will take longer. If you are tired before going into a set this is a good sign. Lower weights if you don't get to 8 without help on the third set. Last set just get past 4 without help and BREATH! Min 3-4 hours of hard work a week and we are all the luckiest people in the world. Lets all do it!

I'm 22, high metabolism, I don't know if my case is the same than the majority I've read here.

I have have always been thin, never able to be fat, even though I eat all day long. However thin, I have always been tight and strong for a guy my size.

I see it as a gift, I can keep myself ripped just by doing 20 minutes of excercise twice a week.

I usually find myself more energetic than the rest, is like I have a pull, a pull for doing things, it's like an urge sometimes. I need to do exercise otherwise I start getting upset and enraged, I need a dose of adrenaline.

I also find myself bolder that other guys who are larger than me,.

And I am able to gain weight, the secret is to eat proteins, raw food (fruits, vegetables) and to do some excercise that requires physical effort, if you do weight training you'll find yourself ripped and strong faster than a fat guy.

Something interesting I've also found is that to eat as much as I can, wich is a lot, I've got to be relaxed. If I'm doing sth that has my attention I can go for long periods without food or feeling the need to eat, I can even do heavy exercise without proper food intake in that state. That's unhealthy so I think It has to do with a survival thing of the body

I agree with Frank, I'm 32, weigh 68kg and yes I am slim but hell I would rather be this way than have to worry about what I eat, I run 30-40km per week, cycle around 100km a week, but I can eat and drink what ever I like and with the addition of a few reps of sit ups and push ups each night the result is very little body fat. Being slim is not a bad thing, it's damn great!

It's crazy how I think that having high metabolism is pretty much a bad thing because I've been trying to gain ever since elementary and it's not going no where but my friends or people that knows me would be jealous of me. I'm at the age of 18 going on 19 and still trying to gain weight. I'm only 100 pounds and the highest that I gain up to would be 106. I feel out of shape but others would think that I'm in shape and don't need to work out. Therefore, I kind of like it! Best part is that I can eat what ever and how ever much i want.

look im about to tell yall the biggest secret there is out there. visit bodybuilding.com, read up on ways people gain weight (not fat but muscle) and i guarantee you will gain weight by setting up a good protein diet. muscle builds weight, fat gains weight and looks rediculous.

for the ladies, i don't know but im sure there are places on the website for workouts and diets to consume for gaining weight. get in shape look good for us men, cause us men do the same for you.

i don't see what the problem is. i have always been skinny with a high metabolism. i have always weighed around 120-130 every since the fourth grade. i am 5ft 8in so that is not alot on my body frame. i only gained weight when i was pregnant (i got up to 190lbs!) but lost it all after i had my baby i am now 124lbs and i do not complain. there are so many people out there watching what they eat counting calories dieting i am so happy that i haven't had that problem and i hope that i never will. lol i love my body and the fact that i can eat whatever i want. i don't overdue it however but i am not as conscience about it either. one day for breakfast i ate a chocolate bar wings and a soda lol. i do excercise regularly (4x a week) and eat the appropriate foods, i just have the advantage of eating crazy things too without the adverse affects!

I'm 21 and weigh about 96 lbs. I think I look even thinner than that because it's hard for me to gain fat where I really need it.. (calf area/lower legs, and arms.) The very little fat I do have is in my boobs which aren't even very big (29 A) and my small pooch of a belly, and my cheeks, and that's it!! I hate my high metabolism, I get hungry every two or so hours, and I too can lose about 3 lbs. in my sleep.

hey im 21 and i actually dont know what i weigh right now :P but last time i checked it was 8 stone (dont know pounds) as everyone has mentioned i can pretty much eat and eat and i really dont gain any fat. in that regard i do love having a high metabolism but the downsidie is i am quite skinny, this combined with my short height 5ft 7 isnt really a woman friendly look, though i have found i can gain a fair bit of lean muscle with just a few days exercise, unfortunately i havent really kept it up and it just dissapears. overall though i think you should appreciate your high metabolism as there are plenty of obese people who would kill to be like us. so dont care what others think if your happy who gives a damn.

You guys think you have it bad? I'm a 15 year old male, 5'11, 120 ****ing pounds. Yes, 120. Sometimes 125, it fluctuates. Mom says "it's just your build, honey." Oh yeah, I eat like a god damn pig. I have started to write down how much food I eat each day. Here's yesterday

3 eggs

a lot of bacon (probably 8-10 strips)

2 bowls of cereal with whole milk

2 glasses of orange juice

1 bagel with cream cheese

2 granola bars

3 grilled cheese sandwiches

1 Protein shake (two scoops of icecream, milk, strawberries and protein powder)

1 sliced apple

1 sliced pear

1 apple

2 homemade hamburgers

french fries

1 granola bar

2 scoops of icecream

I ate a lot yesterday, but I have eaten more than that. Best part is, some days I sit inside all day. I'm not very active, at all. Also, my bones stick out everywhere, and it doesn't help that they're sharp, pointy, and hard as steel. Someone's in my seat? I just sit on them, they'll instantly scream "OKAY OKAY I'LL GET UP" due to my bony ass. Hips are like blades, and water pools in my collar bone when I take a shower. My extremely hard skull and pointy knuckles explains why I have never lost a fight. People avoid me in mosh pits because my elbows are essentially daggers. My knees are SO huge, I can't straighten my legs. Anywhere where I have bones sticking out, my skin is all wrinkly and cracked due to how ****ing long the bones stick out. I have trouble putting on long sleeves shirts because my wrist bone sticks out a little less than half an inch of my arm

Just remember, you could have it worse, believe me.

Skin N Bones 2 years ago

I'm 13 and weigh 92 pounds! Most people tell me all the time to start eating and put some meat on those bones! My mother calls me "skin and bones" all the time as a joke. I eat almost all the time though!(some people notice that too.) A lot of times I feel like I want to be bigger than I am, but ya know I love my body and I am very glad I have high metabolism! I couldn't be luckier!

I am 14 years old, i am about 85-88 pounds range. I am 5'6 and i have a very fast metabolism. I wish i could gain a little bit more weight, not massive, but more than just skin and bones.

Sometimes i am grateful i have a high metabolism but its not all that great when your friends call you a toothpick.

Hi im 14 and i have a high metabolism. I way about 120 but its all muscules. Im in the jv soccer team so thats prob. why im that heavy. Im skinny but not like a tooth pick. If you eat a good diet of fruits or something and play a sport you will get the wieght and the body you want.

I have a high metabolism. I'm 12 years old, 4'10 and 76 pounds. Before I started swimming I was 67 pounds or less. When I started to swim I gained 9 pounds in just two months!! So yeah, for people wanting to gain weight keep on eating but exercise. Exercising helps you gain weight as well as lose it. :)

talley 2 years ago

Ok, I'm not a doctor so take this for what it is worth. I am the same way as all of you, if you have high metabolism, you probably eat 4, 5, maybe even 6 times a day...that is where the problem lies if you are trying to gain weight. You can't eat a lot of small meals more often. This is keeping your metabolism high. You need to eat more food less often. My mom used to be a rail, she started her career and eventually got to the point where she only eats dinner and that is it. She eats once a day and guess what, now she can't lose weight. Its not about what you eat, it's about how much and how often.

ash 2 years ago

I'm 14 years old & way about 85-90 pounds. I'm REALLY tall, which I am about 5'6' or so. I'M TOO SKINNY! Just like everyone else I eat A LOT & I don't gain anything. People call me everything that you can thing of like toothpick,aneroxic, ect. and it really makes me feel bad. Also, when people say that I need to eat more. I CAN'T HELP IT PEOPLE!!!! Another thing I don't like about being this tiny is how my bones show all over the place. My arms are the size of toothpicks & my legs are like chicken legs.it really makes me insecure. I dont even like to wear shorts from where im so skinny. help???!!

im 16 and i weigh about 123 pounds. I kinda like the high metabolism thing. i mean im 5'6' muscler and i love my body. I would suggest to all of you to work out. But idk thats just me. i eat all the time never gain weight. ive been at this weight sense 13. it moves around between 125 and 123. But i just now started working out and i have been getting bigger.

Matt 2 years ago

ok so everyone on here is complaining about having high metabolisms, but take this as a gift from nature stopping you from being morbidly obese like alot of other americans. just go the gym and add muscle weight to your body. eat the same way you have but just build muscle and you may not gain wieght right away but for all the people that are complaining about how they look having more muscle will help that part out, i am 19 i way 128 pounds and never gain weight but i have an 8 pack and i can bench almost 175 pounds so get to it

Lauderdale 954 2 years ago

I just turned 13. I'm 5"11 and 150 lbs of all muscle. I used to eat alot and never get fat or work out. But i've been gaining ten lbs of muscle a year. I was 10 and 120 lb. Did i have some kinda metabolism where i only get stronger. Now i work out since i've been 12 but still eat alot. Not as much though. I can eat all i want just to build muscle. Why is that.

Hey. I'm 14. Female. 93 pounds. 5ft, 3in. I serioualy hate having a high metabolism, it's so annoying, my boobs are pathetically small(thank god for push-up bras), my periods are always really irregular(I honestly don't have the slightest idea when to expect them), and my parents are always bugging me and asking if I have some sort of eating disorder, they don't realize that I go into the kitchen at night and eat half the ice cream carton.

Is there any possible way that I can get a LOWER metabolism?

Skeleton 2 years ago

I am 39 years old - female - have had a child & have never missed a mense ... I just weighed myself (20 min ago) and am currently tipping the scales at a whopping 94lbs while being 5'9" tall - I would give anything to be able to BUY CLOTHES that FIT, to NOT have people drive down a street while hanging out car windows and screaming at me "EAT A BURGER!" Or to otherwise FEEL and be TREATED like a NORMAL human being. I hate grocery shopping FAT FREE SUGAR FREE SALT FREE CARB FREE - and due to this buy butchers meats, and fresh veggies at the market - and yet still remain a stick without shape for the efforts. I do eat enough to have 2 BM's a day but for whatever reason I've LOST another 12 lbs this week. SO SICK of being a stick!!!! ICE CREAM, CAKES ... nothing helps even eatting until I vomit from being overfull for weeks ... or eating 18oz steak DAILY for three mos ... or or or or any of the "ideas" ... I WANT MEDICAL HELP BEFORE I STARVE TO DEATH while eatting!

And the COMPLETE lack of understanding out of friends and family is probably the hardest part of ALL OF IT to deal with. They don't care - they don't relate they don't listen.

Michelle 2 years ago

I am 19 years old, 5 ft, and weigh 80 lbs. I eat three meals a day, and yet I cannot gain weight easily. I may be a vegetarian now, but even back when I used to eat meat, I was roughly at the same weight I am now. Because of my fast metabolism, people (such as my family) ignorantly think that I'm anorexic when I am not or that I don't eat (but I do). I don't know how much calories I eat a day, but I do know that I eat enough.

jessica 24 months ago

Okay, my mom told me today that i need to stop eating at night, because i'm built like my dad & it'll catch up with me in about a year or so. So, i'm scared because i eat not A LOT but, but just enough where i'm full. I'm scared that i'm gonna be fat & not be able to lose it all. Someone please help. :(

Christopher 24 months ago

Yeah, I'm 20 y.o. male and I love having a working metabolism. I'm 5'11", 140lbs. I would like to gain a little weight/muscle tho since there was a time I was 145. I went on a 3 day fast(drinking water) about a year ago and dropped to 130 and its been crazy just getting back to 140. I dont really like eating a lot of junk and Im always on the move, and I guess thats just normal for me. I would go pig out at a diner and go home and my scale will read the same -_-. Ive learned to appreciate it and not abuse it.

Ketchup 23 months ago

I have a hig metabolism but this is good for me because i eat a LOT. I even scare myself. I am not, however, super skinny. I am 5"8 and 125 lbs. But i think I'm abusing my high metabolism since i eat so much and dont exercise like at all. I think I should weigh less or not really weigh less but just be more in shape so that i am less squishy and have more energy.

Ross 23 months ago

I'm just as skinny as you all. My weight fluctuates a lot too, one minute I'm 8.5 stone, next I'm 8.9.

Recently I started going gym more (to get fit for the Army) and drinking weight gainer shakes (3x a day as well as normal meals). These contain at least 100g of protein in them so my muscles should grow fast and easily. I don't know what it's like just yet although I am hoping my weight increases.

Hi everyone I am now 48 years old and I also have a very high metabolism , but i learned to control it through weight training and discipline. I eat whatever I like ,but I have constant weight of about 160 lbs at 5'7". The trick is to rest after a good trainig session and plenty HEALTHY FOODS, and then more weight training. Sounds simple but self discipline is the key .GOOD LUCK

I'm 15 and 4'11 1/2".And I only weigh 68 pounds.I look like I'm 11. I used to eat all kinds of junk foods that other people eat so much that they get obese but I didn't gain an ounce. Then I tried eating healthy and my weight has been 68 pounds for four years. There's nothing wrong with my scale. I've wieghed myself on dozens of scales with roughly the same readings.

Now I realized that I've fretted for nothing. Yeah I'm slim. So many other girls end up anorexic because they wish they were slim. I don't even get sick.

What I really don't get is how I'm always so hyperactive.

I am 15 years old and have a high metabolism, and all my life I have been called anorexic or have been accused of starving myself, even by my family.

Also you can help your metabolism become fast by eating more meals with the good amount of calories during the day and so helping it to burn calories constantly.

lol. i'm 25, i dont get to eat large quantities, but i tend to get hungry pretty quickly, depending on what i eat. i usually go for high calorie stuffs so i dont get hungry quick... and that works. i've been 75kg for 4yrs in a row. my weight fluctuates in between. the last i noticed, i gained 2KG, even at the point i thought i should be losing weight. it eat irregularly... mid night, 3am, no breakfast, etc and i still never seem to put on weight... NEVER! damn! i jsut wish i didnt have to gt hungry so often

Kat 22 months ago

Well I am now 40 and was told by family and friends who have watched me in jealousy unable to maintain above 115 lbs but eat like a horse my entire life. I am 5'3" and my weight fluctuates regularly from 100 lbs to 115 lbs and I want to have a parade every time I gain and maintain 3 lbs. Those that don't have this problem do not understand how very tired this makes me to be at an unhealthy weight 99.9% of the time. I have found that 3 meals a day is not enough calorie intake for me. I eat 10 small high calorie meals daily and snack on high protein high carb high calorie 8 times a day and have maintained 110 lbs for a month now which is a new record for me. I feel like I wake up ravenous and first thing I do is make a peanut butter and banana sandwhich. FYI if you smoke QUIT it was the leading cause of my weight issues. I know sounds like someone on their soap box but 3 months later and I have maintained weight with alot less struggle since I quit smoking.

Kat 22 months ago

I also would like to add and I don't know if anyone else has this issue but doctors test me regularly for anemia. I am NOT anemic, have no thyroid issues, and I am NOT diabetic but I do have a low B12 count. Taking a high dose of B12 helps with your energy level if you get the energy booster one but that's one thing I don't need is MORE energy! I don't sleep as it is for more than 4 hours a night. Also, if I don't eat consistantly like I previously stated my body rebels and I get dizzy, nauseous, have hot flashes that are NOT menopausal, and feel like I am going to pass out. The largest I have ever been was when I was pregnant with my daughter and gained 55 lbs but I was only 108 lbs when I got pregnant. I lost it all in the month after her birth with no exercising. It was just gone. I would just like to say to those family members and friends that the "middle age spread" is a myth for those of us that struggle to gain and MAINTAIN weight. This is such a burden to have to think so much about what I am eating because if I eat too much sugar it puts my metabolism into over drive! HELP!!!!!!!

im 19 almost 20. ive always had a super high metabolism (6'5" 170 lbs...) which totally sucks (grim reaper-ish) even though i do eat more than most people. however, in the past months ive been buying those big cans of whey protein supplements that you mix with water and running through push ups, sit ups, and free weight routines daily. the past 2 months ive been doing it ive been able to add AND keep 8 pounds (topped 180 finally..) and its been a pretty noticable difference. still really skinny but its a work in progress. so for guys i'd definitely recommend that vs just eating more.

Juane 21 months ago

Ladies, like you I have a high metabolism. I used to take weight gainer and still not gain weight I hated it. Now I have learned to love my body. Once you start gaining weight it will not be that easy to control. Our bodies are used to taking in large amounts of food. I am constantly hungy. Could you imagine eating what we eat and gaining weight on top of that. You can not just one day stop eating the way you have been eating for years. I am 31 now and don't even want to worry about gaining weight. I love to eat way too much and would hate not being able to eat a donut when I wanted to. Enjoy it you are naturally thin. Once you start gaining weight it does not stop. There is a million dollar industry that individuals keep paying into to have metabalisms like us.

I just want to state one things about girls who weights 100 pounds and wanna put on weight. Its VERY sexy. Personally i LOVE skinny girls. my "type" are skinny white girls with long hair (cute face and a nice personally is a HUGE plus). I've recently been with 2 girls of this specific type. 1 is like 89lbs and shes 5'2. the other was 90something and she was 5'6. I dont date any girls unless she is skinny. So if you feel like your too skinny and you dont feel "sexy" (or rather beautiful) and you want to gain weight, im just saying there are guys like me out there who treats a girl right and ONLY dates THIS SPECIFIC "type".

Im 33 and i have a very high metabolism. I do eat healthy but i can eat a LOT and i love food, when i was 13-15 i was too skinny but then my body got perfect and it still is, im skinny but not too skinny, i get compliments every single day. (yes it does get very annoying actually) people always said, wait til you hit 30 but my body hasnt changed one bit. if i dont eat a big meal at night i wake up hungry in the middle of the night. my doctor says my metabolism is extremely. well i LOVE IT, i can eat anything i want, dont have to work out, have a 2 year old and look great! :)

Sean  20 months ago

I'm a male, 16, 6 foot and still shooting up, weighing 135 currently, as a kid I was skin and bones, you could lift up my shirt and count all of my ribs, through my childhood I ate like a horse but my extremely high metabolism isn't flexible at all. I ate and ate and I would always take offense when somebody would call me a toothpick or anorexic. The start of this year, I'm in a special weight training gym class, when I took my body composition test, I came out with a 7% body fat. To sum it up, I have not an ounce of fat on these bones, what weight I did have is now muscle but since there is so little of it, that is what makes up my whole weight. Any suggestion on weight gain? It would be a dream come true :D

I wanted to play varsity football but they told me i had to gain 15 lbs first, but seeing how i have this metabolism its literally impossible for me

I'm 14 years old and I'm five foot 4. I dont have a specific weight, I gain or lose depending on the day, but I'm in the 90 range. I dont take my high metabolism as a "curse". I take it as a beloved gift from god. Haha. Everybody's trying to pick on their body's. Well I bet that half of you who are posting here about being "too skinny". If you had a slow metabolism you'd be wishing you had a faster one. Be happy with the weight you are. I see my friends, and a couple of them are overweight, eating around 100 calories with a special k bar. While im eating thousands. Learn to love it people. :)

I also have high metabolism, for people who want to weight more, exercise and don't be afraid to pick up weights up and left some weights. I am 4'll and I weight 108. If you built muscles, you'll weight more. And girls don't be scared, you won't look like a man, the only way a woman can look like a man if she uses steroids. Women muscles aren't the same as men muscles. We do not make enough testosterone. Plus working out makes you hungry, if you workout you'll want to get more. Building muscles will fill you out and give your body shape. I am very short woman, and I am very shapely :) And I can pick up some weight. We my legs I can lift 150 lbs, so don't be to pick up the weights.

I eat anything and everything in sight. I am now going to a dietitian so i can get a set plan on what to eat(high carb and high protein foods). having this thing is also a good thing cause i look good going out, i get alot of compliments from everyone. Thanks crystal that was very helpful :) i am now going to the gym aswell and gaining weight slowly. My advise to everyone : go to a dietitian get a set plan and go to the gym.! :)

Hey, don't fret, there are worse things then being skinny and healthy. You could be fat and over weight. Honestly I would take being skinny any day over being a fat slob! 34 Years old here and I have not gained any weight since I was a teenager. Still maintain 135-140 pounds and 5'7" tall. And honestly I think its great, now that I am almost 35, I look around me and see a lot of my peers getting old and fat and have no energy. I still have tons. Daily exercise helps you put on muscle which is way more important then fat, and helps keep you fit. Enjoy it, cause I bet while your thinking you'd like to be as big as your friends, I bet your friends are jealous of you being so skinny with out any effort at all!

I'm 17 years old and have never been over 99 lbs. I weighed 60 lbs in 6th grade, 70 lbs in 7th grade, 80 lbs in 8th grade and have been stuck in the 90s since 9th grade. I eat meat and high protein foods in every meal. all i eat is carbs and meat. nothing helps. I've tried going to the gym but the weight I gain from muscle simply disappears. I would rather have the choice to be fat than having no choice but to look anorexic. I hate it when people say they wish they were skinny like me. I can't fit into clothes, everyone assumes i have an eating disorder. Being skinny isn't always that great :/

I have an extremely high Metabolism and I am 13 years old, I find it hard nto becoming thin so I have ended up becoming a slob without the belly, but I think Metabolism is a gift, I can chow down all the cake and sugary and all the nice stuff in life non-stop and I never get fat, it's awesome!, although it's quite sad because everyone I see around me are fatter than me and I feel sorry for them, I consider my metabolism as a gift, I LOVE IT!

Im 18 and I'm 5'10. I weigh about 130 or 128. I eat alot and I have a high metabolism. I use to work out and I gained like 10 pounds of muscle. I'm pretty toned and cut for a skinny guy that has little muscles but I need to look a little bigger cuz ppl call me FRAIL. I got lazy and stoped working out. I thought maybe I can not do nothing for a long time and gain weight naturally....guess what... FAIL. I'm still about 130. My dad was actually skinnier than me when he was my age but as he got older his metabolism slowed down and now he weighs about 215 also hes about 6'2. I hope my genetics does the same for me in the future

pamela washington 18 months ago

I am 5ft 10in with a fluctuating weight of 115 to 118 lbs mom of two teens. I have been small every since high school. I have tried everything you could imagine from weight gain shakes, to vitamins even weight lifting with no success. It's so funny because my teen daughter weighs more than I do, she is soon to be 18yrs old weighing about 151 lbs but its all in the right places. No I am not jealous of my baby but I do wish I could gain the weight as easily as she does. I too hate the way my body looks although I have heard what many of us all have heard, that people wish they could be our size and be able to eat what you want when you want and not have to worry about excessive weight gain. Yes I heard wait to you have kids you will gain the weight, well that did happen, 115 to 165 lbs and soon as the baby came the weight went away. Sucks!! I am finally coming to grips with the way my body looks. For some of us, we're just not meant to gain or just to be fat.

at times my weight fluctuates between 110-120 but usually it's a 120. During the summer I somehow lost 20 lbs even without trying but now I'm back to a normal 120 and I'm happy with my weight. I eat about 4-6 times a day and don't gain nor lose any more than a pound.

I feel very lucky :)

Rosie 18 months ago

I am 56 years old, gained weight about twice in my life and lost it fast. I am 5'3", weigh 94lbs. As a kid I was 54lbs on grade 6, my Mom told me I didn't change school uniform until grade 6.

When teenager my normal was 98 lbs. I eat anything and all the time. My family used to tell me as well, wait when you will turn 30 you will gain, I didn't, then wait after 40, I didn't, after 50, I didn't.

Now that I became vegetarian it is worse, I was between 100 and 108 but lost over 15lbs.

I notice for me I would gain if I relax and if I am on vacation, not at home. I could gain 10 lbs in 2 weeks and loose it and more in 2 days when I am back home feeling stressed.

So if I could stop worry I think I could gain.

But the gym is a good idea, it takes time though.

We should be happy to be like that, the only problem is to find clothes that fit.

Hey, I'm not alone... I'm 54yrs old and weigh about 156 lbs.. about 5' 9 '' and on a typical workday, I consume appx 4800-5200 calories. Sitting around the tv on a day off, I eat easily 3,000 calories a day... Started getting low blood sugar when I got to the age of 48 or so.. I started calling it the curse of perfection, but that's all taken care of now. I eat lots of pasta (low GI index carbs) and eat about 5 or 6 meals a day. It's the best way to be!! just make sure you don't get low blood sugar.. Eat, eat eat..

Hi, you'd probably not believe this, but I consume the equivalent of about 7000 calories per day and have and extremely high metabolism. I work out a lot now and I'm 17 years old.

I'm not opting for any 'weight gain' substitutes atm.

Amy baby 17 months ago

Hi everyone, I'm 25 year old female.. 110-115 pounds and 5,7 feet tall. I have alway been thin and I love it. I work out once a month and maintain a perfect body. I'm not to thin but I wouldn't mind gaining 10 pounds. I eat like crazy so I doubt I'll ever gain that weight. I guess it's as hard for skinny people to gain weight as it is for fat people to lose it. The one thing I wonder is why people don't understand that it is just as rude to tell a skinny person they are soooo skinny as it is to tell a fat person they are sooooo fat! It hurts. Bottom line is... I don't think anyone is happy with their weight. Everyone complains about their weight. To thin or to fat or average they still wants to be different. Be happy for who you are!

Cheers fellow thin people

my mistake i am 38, and to all of you who are trying to gain weight carbohydrates and milkshakes especially the large ones from mcdonalds. once a week or twice, potatoes (baked) and mashed, oh yeah thanks for all the info on your weight there is a secret out there to gain weight, but just to start is the shakes and potatoes, it sticks to ya, and to tone it up a bit, do push up and sit up

carpathorus 17 months ago

I can't believe I found this forum! Finally some people who understand! I have had high metabolism and low weight my entire life. Every decade other women would say "Just wait until you hit your 30's/40's..." whatever. I am now going on 50, 5'4" and 100 pounds. I eat like a horse. People always accuse me of anorexia or bulimism. I have had friends, doctors, even strangers make remarks or refuse to believe I did not have an eating disorder and I'm so tired of thin women being referred to as the women who starve themselves or as "skinny bitches". Would they make similar statements to people who are overweight? Not without consequences.

I just had to say I love reading about all of you fellow skinny women. Hey, the upside is that people always think I'm about ten years younger than I am.

I'm a 16 year old girl, who has recently realized how highbmy metabolism is. I eat who knows how many calories a day, having around 3-5 snacks a day, and 2 large meals. I'm 5'7", and weigh 120 pounds, making my bmi 18, which is underweight. I've tried eating more to gain some pounds, and just losing consistently, and taking gym where you run for 40mins hasn't helped it anymore. I'm told I'm anorexic and such by my best friends because of this, and it sucks. The only plus side is that I can eat a lot and not gain weight. But it mostly sucks. :-/

josh 16 months ago

I dunno what my metabolism is but I'm sure I eat 3 or 4 times as much as all of you but because of it I got a little fat like 60 pounds maybe a little more I'm sure on a holiday I can eat like 5k calories, but yet I'm skinner then people who eat less then me, but with excersize and not eating as much I lose weight as much as I gain when I don't, so for me all I gotta do is excersize to lose but that's a pain it would be a blessing to be like yall if I could eat 4 or 5 pieces of cake after big dinner and not gain weight, but I'm not really that fat either, the good part about me is I'm naturally strong and have a lot of muscle under the fat I haven't worked out in 3 years and yet I can bench 200 lbs I also build muscle faster then anyone I know I just have to lift, I'm 18 5'9 and I weigh 220 my highest right now but I just started at the gym I am aiming for 160

skinny dude 16 months ago

hey guys, I'm 16, 6 months ago I weighed 110 lbs, i was a skinny faggot lol, I have a high metabolism and couldnt gain weight, then i joined a gym and started eating 2500+ calories, even though it was hard as hell to put on some mass, i'm now 130Lbs, my arms and overall body dont look like a stick anymore. More like ripped ass muscles, my bodyfat went from 2percent to 6, i feel a lot better but still gotta keep on going, my goal is 150-170Lbs of lean mass, screw fat. LEAN MASS IS THE KEY TO NOT LOOK LIKE A SKELETON, NOT 5000CALS A DAY.

sg 16 months ago

A good way to put on weight is to work out at least 3 times a week on all areas on your body, but additionally, you would have to consume 3000 calories a day in food, and another 1500 calories from unskimmed whole milk (that's 6 pints/3.3 litres) it takes a while getting used to it, but hey it worked for me.

I have high metabolism and I'm 28 years old. People often say you'll gain wait at this age and yet people don't. It all depends on the person.

For me I can literally eat every hour almost of everyday and not gain wait. I'll eat and an hour later be able to eat again. NO idea why I can't gain wait; I'm a bit below average for my age in weight, I weight about 155lbs and 6'1 at 28 years.

Elena 16 months ago

I'm fifteen. Until this year my metabolism was so freakishly high that I weighed 65 pounds at my highest. People made fun of me and called me anorexic, even though I ate more food then everyone else. I was really worried about my health. The about a year ago, a friend of mine bet me 25 dollars to be a vegetarian for a month. I took the bet and immediately cut meat out of my diet. I made dietary changes so I wouldn't lose protein. But cutting out meat slowed my metabolism a bit. I put on weight and am now a happy 95 pounds. At 5'1" This is EXACTLY where I want to be. I still have a very high metabolism, and eat approximately seven meals a day, but I thought if I shared this, it might help somebody else gain the weight they needed to boost their self confidence.

All of u people complaining about a high metabolism, I envy yall. I mean Im not fat but not skinny, I wish I had I high metabolism. I exercise and eat pretty right; but I still feel fat... I wish I could eat what I wanted when I wanted. My brother has a high metabolism and I envy him for that... People with high metabolisms don't realize how really good they have it. People with normal ones WISH they had what you have; never having to go on a diet. So don't feel bad cause you can't gain weight because some would KILL for that!

I dunno if i have a super high metabolism or not but i do eat like a pig. I used to workout all the time but I stopped over the past year and been eating junk food 24/7. I havent gained that much weight but im sure not losing any as a lot.of.people said. Im starting to lose muscle as well but im perfect the way i am. I think its a gift cuz i can eat all i want without gaining too much and without losing any!

IS ANYONE HERE WORKING OUT 3-5 TIMES A WEEK CONSISTENTLY? I was 5'10 male, 120lbs - terrible. I worked out for 9 months straight 3-5 times a week for 1-2 hours a day, eat before and after, 2 protein shakes a day, 5-6 meals a day and I gained 30 lbs. When I stopped I lost 10lbs in just over a month. SO if we want to gain weight we must workout CONSISTENTLY!!!!! ALL GOOD FOODS muscle doesn't grow on anything but home made food. For reps, between 8-12 for 4 SETS. 2 Min breaks in between sets, if your heart rate goes too low (waiting too long between sets) you won't feel the results as fast and it will take longer. If you are tired before going into a set this is a good sign. Lower weights if you don't get to 8 without help on the third set. Last set just get past 4 without help and BREATH! Min 3-4 hours of hard work a week and we are all the luckiest people in the world. Lets all do it!

I'm 14, 5'3 and I have a really high metabolism! I weigh 92 and it sucks! I hate being so skinny, it makes me feel so uncomfortable around my friends because they're all curvy /: I Eat a lot and I mean a lot! I'm always eating junk food and a whole bunch of stuff and I always have to go use the restroom and then everything is gone. Ughhhh! My mom has been telling me ever since I was 11 that I will eventually get fat one day, I don't think that's gonna happen.

Im13 year old male and my metabolism isreally high, but I dont eat that much, I will eat a few bites of a meal then just pig out on bag of doritos later. Im actually soo skinny that you can see my ribcage, and when I suck in theres about a 3 inch ledge under my ribs where I assume my colon is. I kinda like it though because I dont have to worry about getting fat and I sit on my ass all day and never gain a pound. I weigh about 85 lbs Id say 5'2 ( Really short, I havent hit puberty :( )

Hey, im 14 going on 15 very soon. im a freshmen and im the skinnest girl in school i weigh 95 pounds but being skinny has its ups and downs. For instance, guys judge girls on their bodys so i pretty much get judged all the time. it bothers me but i stick with it because i know that im me and this is how i was born, i used to eat alot on purpos because i wanted to gain weight. but being skinny can benifit you because im in swimming (p.e class) and all the other girls are to self concious with their bodys so they never wear a two peice like me(: but if you have best/Great friends supporting you on your way through life youll be just fine. Trust me(: - Just keep swimming and remember your always beautiful and your not the only one going through this phase in life (:

Im 5ft 7, almost 18 and i have an extremely skinny figure YET im 9 and a half stone (Dunno what that is in pounds). I have always been skinny but i swear I never stop eating. I'm also always hungry, I probably couldnt go more than 2-3 hours without something to eat during the day. I tend to go for high carb foods like pasta or potatoes to try and keep me full but it doesnt work. I just get bloaty and hungry again?? Do I have a high metabolism?

Amy 14 months ago

I am twenty-one years of age; weight is 99 and 5'1". Lose weight when I sleep plus when I am active. (I work at two jobs.) Always eat non-stop but the food/weight never seems to hit my body.

My brother said maybe when I am older I will gain weight. Hoping he is right because getting looked at head to toe makes me uncomfortable, looking at the mirror I just want to see some fat.

All of us High Metabolismers: I just wanted to say, Stay strong. If someone is treating you disrespect, saying anything impolite or anything really, ignore them because true beauty always shows its self, in and out you are beautiful for the way you truly are. Much love and God bless. :)

Pancake 14 months ago

I'm 26 years old, just under 5ft and my weight only shifts when I'm having my cycle. Even then its a few pounds and it drops off after. I am around 8 stone 7, eat like a pig yet it just disappears.

I always hated my friends in the sense they'd constantly go on about how skinny I am. I am not anorexic, I love food but some days I don't eat much others I do.

Don't complain about it, as long as you're not sick/ill from not eating a lot then don't worry about it. I have been in hospital a few times for not eating enough! And I have stuffed my face that same day, its annoying.

im thirteen, turning fourteen in a few months. i am 57 inches & weigh about 76 pounds. on october 2010, i weighed 72 pounds. i missed my monthly period 2-3 times only eversince i got it on march 2010. me & my sister both have high metabolism, we're one year apart. my friends at school tease me about my height mostly, they'd only tease me about my weight when we all had a nurse check up. for me, high metabolism is neutral. i hate it because i can never become normal like most kids & i like it because i get to keep my body the same way even when i eat a lot.

20, 5'9", 113-120 lb. I've been skinny my whole life. To maintain my weight, i must consume 3000-3400 calories a day. Anything under 2800, I see weight loss the next morning.

I've tried everything. EVERYTHING. (except steroids) and to be honest, the only thing that helped the most was getting a medical marijuana card. I love smoking before a meal. IT HELPS A LOT. I just hate how much it costs and the fatigueness you get afterwards, don't feel like doing anything the rest of the day =/

MissCA- I KNOW HOW TO PUT ON WEIGHT. 13 months ago

Hi! I wrote a while back! I am aged 20 and i am also slim for my age. 7st 6lbs is my lowest! It usually took me at least a year to put on a single pound and i eat like a horse! I have a High Metabolism (Which is a curse) :(. But i have found an amazing thing called -MAXIMUSCLE PROTEIN- Its simply a powdered drink u add water or milk too (like a milkshake) I have been taking that + food for two weeks and have put on 5pounds!! I drink it with milk at least three times a day with some exercise. I just thought I would tell you all because i know what you are going through and it feels amazing to finally put on weight.

Hope I helped,

Have you ever thought that maybe you’re highly sensitive to insulin/your body is not producing enough of it.The calorie law assumes that the person has regular insulin levels because if little or no insulin is released excess calories will not be stored as fat.Hence this is why undiagnosed diabetics lose weight when their body stops producing insulin

After reading all of the cases about high metabolism,I need to add about me. I'm 60yrs,5'10"and 143lbs. I've tried it all but can't gain. I hate shopping for a suit because it really cost to have it to fit you-about $35-$50. I can say that the doctor always give me a clean bill of health.

Kevin 12 months ago

After reading all the comments about people wanting to be "fat" I just had to say something.

It's funny how so many people out there that are over-weight are wishing they had a high metabolism, and in turn the people with a high metabolism are wishing they could put on more weight. Really, it's just a vicious circle that society pushes onto people because of certain "standards" that the media creates.

Who cares what you look like, who cares what people say and think about you. Live for yourself. If your doctor says you're healthy, then you're healthy. He's not going to give you medication you don't need, besides, you should be avoiding any medication if at all possible, especially if you don't need it.

If you want to gain some weight, I seen someone mention working out and maintaining a good high-protein diet.

Muscle weighs more than fat, and it is much more healthy to put on rather than trying to put on fat. Sure it will be more difficult for a person with a high metabolism to build muscle, but it's just as hard for an over-weight person to lose the weight and get back into shape. It takes time and effort, if you want it bad enough you'll shoot for it.

Robert 11 months ago

Just being able to sustain the same weight at the moment, but I find stress and being constantly busy can make you lose weight. After my exams, before I go to University I am aiming to gain 15-25 pounds in approximately 3 months. This can only be achieved for me by working out and eating small meals frequently that contain high proteins and calories. High metabolism is such a curse... sometimes gets you down as well. I just read somebody is having trouble with thin forearms. I had that too but I did forearm exercises to increase strength and size and I find that it is working so good luck :D

Please help?

Hi why don't you guys try low carb IN REVERSE!!!just try eating mostly pasta,cereal,breads,potatoes and plenty of fruit.The low carb theory is if people eat too many carbs overtime they become more insulin resistent and gain weight easily.If reversing the diet works you guys might be able to add a few pounds!!!

You guys have to be kidding me. are you seriously complaining about having a high metabolism? I have such a low metabolism, I am a black belt in taekwon do, I am a kickboxer, and a gymnast, during my gymnastics season I work out 4 hours a day, at least 5 days a week (the other part of the year it is 2 hours a day 4 days a week). I always eat like a rabbit, and I am still a whopping 140 pound on a 5"4'frame. You know how I look? Fat. It has been such a stuggle for me all of my life, please embrace yourselves because you all have such a gift.

noName 11 months ago

JS don't worry its quite possible you don't have a low metabolism and your eating habits just need a little tweak.

Question 1-are you counting calories?if you don't know how visit here http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/harri

you also need to add your activity calories to your BMR since you're very active

Question 2-what times are you eating during the day?I find my body wont get the chance to burn much calories unless i eat them first!i always try to eat around 40% of them after i wake up 40% of them for lunch and 20% for dinner that way i don't feel hungry or too full.so try adjusting the percentages to suit your schedule.An egg or some vegetables are great low cal snacks if you're ever hungry.

Question 3-what percentages of carbs,protein and fat are you eating in your calories?I think the usda recommends 18% protein, 29% fat, 53% carbohydrates.If these percentages don't work for you try reducing carbs by 5% and increasing fat by 5% since you need to eat fat to burn fat!

if all of this sounds like a lot of work join calorie count for free and the website will do all the calculating for you http://caloriecount.about.com/

Hiya guys, Im 13, soon to be 14 and I eat quite a lot, like seriously Once I ate a whole foot sub, chips, some french fries and a big Spanish omellete on onee day, and It didn't affect me in any way, also, I have experienced that I drink quite a lot of milk, and this has helped me grow a little bit taller since I am quite shorter than an average 13/14 year old. I weigh only 30kg and I should be way more! Anyways, just want to say that drinking milk can help you grow taller, and milkshakes also help you to enable you to leave some fat from food into you're body. Thank you! xx

Im a 17 year old female 5 foot 6". I have never been over 8 stone and have tried my hardest to gain weight because i hate the way i look. i eat a normal healthy diet for my age with all the snacks in between. Its effected everything so far, my menstrual cycle didn't start till very late and even now its not an even cycle, i have become ill because of my weight loss and have become ashamed of how i look. However recently i have put on weight and have reached my 8 stone goal but this was only with help from 'the pill' for my menstral cycle and thats the only thing i found to help with gaining weight. im starting to worry i may be another link in the family chain of bad tyroid problems, my mum, my sister and 2 of my aunties have an under active thyroid giving them low metabolism, and my mum had to have her thyroid removed, my other auntie has an over-active thyroid, and she eats so much but is so much skinnier then her sisters, most of them are on thyroxine tablets, im hoping to break this chain by keeping the weight gain i have managed to get recently.

Jasmine 9 months ago

Hey guys! :) My name's Jasmine, and I have an EXTREMELY high metabolism. At first, I had no clue what to do and I wasn't very happy about my weight. However, I was just recently in Mexico and while I was there I did A LOT of swimming and exercising ! And, I ate lots and lots of food (there was an all you can eat buffet... And when you have a high metabolism, you can manage to eat A LOT of food). When I got back from Mexico I weighed myself and to my surprised I had gained 5 pounds! I was only there for about a week. These days, I'm keeping a food journal. Writing down how much food a day I eat. AND, on top of that I'm exercising everyday. Since I've gotten back from Mexico I've managed to keep my weight. Even gain a few pounds! Having a high metabolism is quite frustrating at times. However, all it takes is patience in trying to find the right technique so you can gain weight. There are pros and cons to having high metabolism. Such as; you can eat all you want, whenever you want! But, it is quite stressful (having to try and gain weight, but never succeeding). In conclusion, I suggest to all of you to exercise daily (swimming will most probably help the most) and to keep on eating (Which isn't very hard ;D) Hope this helps ! :)

what high metabolism is. I get alot of rude remark about being 115 pounds, and it keeps going.

It was really hard for me to

understand why I was so tiny. It was very uncomfortabel

for me to be this tiny. But I can't imagine life without lots of pizza, donuts, yey :) ..and only gain 5 or 10 pounds. that is great. I look forward to my next chocolate cake and a whole pizza. I am noticing that the body is changing in throughout the years.

:) I am greatful for being tiny and to be able

to enjoy varieties of food and drinks. I rather be tiny

than over weight and struggling with getting around.

Hi there,

For all of you think folk out there. I would not worry so much about how you look. A high metabolism is just like any other physical feature: eyesight, shoe/bra size, etc... I think the most important thing is that you are doing the best for your body that you can. I have been thin all of my life and am now approaching 50. I have taken protein powder, eaten more than is comfortable etc... and I just cannot seem to gain much more than a few pounds. In fact, as I get older, my body looks thinner because my skin gets less fatty and my veins just a little more protrusive. I just manage this by wearing appropriate clothes and not worrying about things. I think what is hard is that people often ask me whether I eat - it gets tiring to answer this, so sometimes I just say that I gave up years ago - why bother? As if!! Just be yourself, and be happy - everyone's lives come with different hardships, and really being slim is not so bad after all!

Number 1 thing to do: HIT THE GYM, not cardio, Weight Lifting - YES GIRLS TOO, and eat 4-6 meals a day of healthy food. At 12 I was 85 pounds. I am now 20, 6'4" and 185 pounds. Once you start gaining muscle (Will take 6-9 months for any noticeable difference) your body will look amazing. I can still eat anything in any amount and wont gain fat, but by working out my muscle keeps my weight up.

Jonesy 7 months ago

I'm 25 at 5'11" and weigh around 128 lbs. I weighed 106 last year. My nutritionist told me I had to take in about 6800 calories a day just to maintain my weight. I started seeing a new nutritionist about a year ago and he cut my calories down to 4600+ but told me to eat high protein foods but to stay away from red meat and I've gained 22 lbs. If anyone starts a high protein diet they should really start weightlifting if they haven't already. Whole grains and swimming also help.

Intensity over volume when your work out. If you don't feel it when you've finished then you didn't do it right.

Yeah im 13,5'4 and im long and skinny only weighing 98.5 pounds. i hate being this skinny! i mean i dont want to be fat but i just want some meat on my bones, a butt, thighs, somethin'! all my friends and other people are always telling me "girl you need some meat on your bones" and i hate it because they just dont know that i cant gain weight! i eat a LOT but i just dont gain weight. i've been called a toothpick, twig, stick, noodle, pencil,skin n' bones, a skeleton, anything skinny you could think of. and im black so high metabolism doesnt exactly work with me if you know what i mean... I HATE HAVING HIGH METABOLISM!!! :D

Kevin 6 months ago

I'm 38, and have a high metabolism. I'm tired of always being hungry and low on energy. I'm concerned that with all the eating, my insides are unhealthy even though I don't have an ounce of fat. I've gained a bit of weight recently by eating about 1.5kg of spuds in the morning. Cut into chips, and drizzled with olive oil, I cook them in the oven. This is easy, and cheap. With very little salt, hopefully it's healthy as well. A high protein diet, and weightlifting would be good, but high protein diets can get expensive. This addition to my diet seems to be keeping my energy levels up for the day; I don't get overcome with hunger and weakness at any point anymore.

Haha I have a high metabolism and insted of trying to gain the fat I use it to my advantage. I work out and insted of taking three or two days to reover from intene work out I only take one and sometimes, if I ate right, over night! Based on the fact that my body burns more cal's it also gains them too. Don't worrie about the way you look just worrie on how you co-op with it and make it work. I'm 15 and in high school still but no one asked for my life story. :)

Hi, im 15 and i think i have a high metabolism. Im around 120lbs but i would weigh a lot less if i had no muscle. Dance regularly (2hours, 2days a week) and though im skinny i have great legs muscles which dont quite match my skinny waist. I lovemy size though as all of my friends are constantly worrying about what theyre eating and i eat quite healthily but i eat more than my friends put together!

One thing worried my about the article above... My friend is also very skinny and way more under developed, its very likely she too has a high metabolism because shes super skinny but hasnt started her mensral cycle yet...mine was normal because i think i have only recently developed a high metabolism but hers worries her... Has anyone experienced under developement due to high metabolism?

Hi, I'm 13, 5'1". When I was 12 I weighed 112 lbs, I didn't exercise and i ate all the time, every chance i got. Over the summer i stopped eating as much as i used and excercised A LOT. My family told me i was too skinny and looked sickly from not eating enough. My mom told me i was vitiman and nutrient deficient. I got to about 92 lbs. The past few months i've tried eating more and got up to 98 lbs. I felt great. But about a week ago i changed my eating habits again and i was 99. The past few days i've eaten like crazy...I ate so much my entire upper body was sore and i puked. Unfortunatly... yesterday i found out i lost a few pounds.. Anyone who reads this, don't let what other people think about you, weather you're overweight or underweight, make you do things that make you feel bad if you already feel fine.

I have gone to doctors that have said that I have a high metabolism. there was an article posted in the school newspaper about Anorexia (excuse my spelling)...after that people would come up to me and ask if I was anorexic. I was really hurt. All my friends are 120 lbs or higher and I am literally skin and bones. I eat double meals at school and have a calorie intake of 3,500 to 4,00 a day. Also I excersise as much as I can, so I can gain muscle.My family would make fun of me, or say that I need help. That I probably have a tapeworm (which I don't) that really hurt too!!

Hello!

My name is Ana. I’m 29 years old and I’m 88lbs (40kg). I eat around 5000kcal/day and I don’t get any weight. yes! I was a regular woman, training every day and struggling to be fit but somehow, one day I woke up and felt all this energy…I was around 52kg by Monday and Friday I was 45kg…crasy, I work out now just for fun 1-2 times a week for 20 minutes….I eat everything and I’m stuck at 40kg. I’m never tired, I can be in bed for a day, eating all the time but whenever I want to get up i feel bursting with energy.

In the first week before the Happening (as I call it) a ate like crasy, 10 000 calories a day for 7 days. And I get to the end of the week with 43 kg (lost 2 kg) and not felling sick. Now, 5 years later I just don’t care, I eat what I want, try to eat healthy but eat a lot and just faced the beautifull idea that I’m 40kg, full of energy to live and with my second kid just wanting to take her first steps!

I have a very high metabolism and because my weight changes so quickly shopping for clothes can be a headache...when am at 145 pounds that is okay but it is not the same when my weight falls to 130-125 in a matter of days. Outfits that were fitting prefect at 145 are not what I want to wear when my weight fals to an all time low! I have leant that you can go to BodyBuilding.com (Or look up body types) and find what is your body type. This was good for me because I have leant that I am mesomorph body type which would explain why I can not gain weight easly. I am more muscle type... Hey guy and girls this is a blessing! You just have to know what you have to eat to gain and maintain the weight you want. This web site help me a whole lot. Look at the bright side you can have the things you like to eat and maintain your weight. I now know what I have to do.... I remember only too well the nicknames I was given when I was growing up as a child- 'Bones' was one of them.

I'm 14, and have a VERY high metabolism. I've always been tiny, and even when I was little i remember my doctor telling me o was going to be petiete. But now that I'm in highschool it really bothers me because everyone's like your so skinny, I wish I was like you. & I'm always like, no you don't. I can't gain weight even if I try. My mom goes out of town every other week for work & my dad can't cook so we eat out every night, mostly fast food & I still can't gain weight. I'm 95lbs but nobody believes me because of the way my body looks. I hate it. I used to take it as a complemented but now I'm just like.. Ewh. My friend told me that our horse trainer thinks I'm anorexic. But I'm not. I even told my mom she said this and she believes me, but it hurts to think somebody thinks that.. but it is a curse. I would kill to just be 110.

Lisa 5 months ago

I just turned 44, i'm 5'3" - and my weight will share between 110 - 114 lbs. I'm an athlete, so during our training season - my weight goes up due to my higher food intake to get the fat to burn into muscles; in the off season (Nov/Dec) - i drop the few pounds. In comparison to my high school years - i've only gained a total of about 10 lbs. I've tried way too many things to gain the weight and keep it, no success. I can lose weight faster than I can gain it. Nowadays, I just deal and when someone compliments me on being able to not gain and eat all i want: I turn around and say - I have as much of a problem as the person trying to lose the weight - It's really not that easy or even fun!!! Most people tend to see it my way and offer some understanding.

I think high metabolism can be a curse. I eat and eat. Most of my foods are junky, I eat healthy but I also eat a lot of junk food. But I don't gain any weight, if I do I lose it over night. I am 5'3 and the average weight for my height is 110 lbs, I am about 15 lbs under weight. I've been called stick, paper, and anorexic. My own sister is jealous of me because of my metabolism. For my church we are doing a week of fasting, and we can chose anything we want to, I wanted to fast a meal or to but I physically can't because of my metabolism. I feel like such a fat kid when I eat at school, because I see almost every girl eating a small meal or a salad compared to my heaping tray of nachos, or pizza and big heap of pudding. Based on my genes, I've been told that I will most likely balloon out when I get older like 30 at this rate I don't think I will....

I have a high metabolism. I'm 14 going on 15 and weigh only 94 pounds. Sometimes it changes I can weigh from 93 pounds to 98 . Sometimes I can end up losing 3 pounds in my sleep. On thanksgiving I ate like crazy and the next day I lost 3 pounds, crazy ain't it. People always tell me that my legs are skinny and that I look like a stick, it just makes my self esteem go lower. My friends make fun of me saying I have chicken legs and I feel so embarrassed when I'm near them. I look like a 11 year old, I hate it I cant even wear the clothes I want to. I wish I had curves. But I know it is never going to happen. I went to the gym for 2 weeks to see if I could gain muscle but I gave up .because I know I'm never going to gain a pound. I constantly see myself comparing my body to others. I know that this is a gift to be skinny but I want to gain weight. I tell my mom and she says I'm healthy but I just wish I could change my body.

hey guys i have a high metabolic rate too but i don't look completly skin and bones.the trick for me is to juz workout,like say your arms are looking a bit flimsy juz go buy a dumbbell and start doing reps for arms trust me(it will be hard at first but all u need to do is put your mind elsewhere while working out before you know it you will be all skin and muscles)and eat more burgers(tasty and helps your calories) if you excersise

Ashley 3 months ago

Finally! I'm happy to see that I'm not alone in this. I'm 18, almost 19 years old and I'm 5'8 weighing in at a whopping 108 lbs. I eat like a pig, everything from healthy, daily three course meals, to junk and sweets (mmm, chocolate).

Of course I got teased growing up, but I laughed along with my friends whenever they held me when the wind blew or jokingly said that they could fly me like a kite if I let them tie a rope around me. And I went on the anti diet when my friends’ dieted and they dumped most of their food on me. Then I got the more malicious whispers of anorexic or bulimic (which is not true in the least, but to each their own). The weight problem never truly bothered me, even though I'm rail thin, until I started having health issues. The health problems aren't due to my weight, but it doesn’t help that whenever I fall ill (flu, food poisoning, ect. which happen a lot) I get dangerously thin. Or whenever I have surgeries (getting my wisdom teeth out was the worst, but it's done now x.x;) and I can't eat much, my cheeks will hollow out and it gets a little unpleasant. I think I might have once dropped 20 pounds in the course of a week and it took me a very long time to build it back up.

This metabolism apparently runs in the family, and it will either wear off as I grow older or it wont, but I’d like to know if anyone has ever found a way to balance their weight without consuming even more food then we usually do.

mcfarlanealex38@yahoo.com 3 months ago

Hello every one i am a Science Student who have been researching this issue for quite awhile.The simple secret of overturning your high Metabolism is...Go for approximately 2 days without food and then you load your body with calories the third Day...This is tricking the body into believing that you will eventually starve therefore it stores fat. For greater effect, cut off from drinking cold water or bathing in cold water but rather use warm water in all circumstances. trick your body again by sleeping longer periods in warm blankets or if you usually sleep long periods do the opposite and stay up very late. Last but not least never do any activity to sweat!! you are on your way to being an elephant!!!!

Kane 3 months ago

I have a question, I'm 15, 16 in 2 months and I'm 5'8 and 135 lbs. I eat so damn much and gain no weight, but right when I turned 15 I was 5'6 and 120 lbs. I was very skinny, but was toned and defined and had a 6 pack. Though, at the beginning of the school year in September I started going to the gym and taking protein shakes after I workout, I would go to the gym every other day and consume a protein shake after each workout. I have gained quite 5-15 lbs of muscle mass and I still am defined and look better than ever, my six pack even looks better, but I have been hearing that protein shakes after taken over a large amount of time can put you to the heavier and fatter side. I don't want this to happen, can someone tell me if this is true because if it is I must stop taking them now because I play soccer and I cannot be slowed down. Could I quit taking protein shakes and simply still workout without taking protein after or maybe even have a couple eggs instead, I dont want to gain anymore muscle mass, but get toned now. Any thoughts?

I'm 19 going on 20,I'm 98 lbs and I'm 5'1. All my life I've been skinny and although I feel like it's a curse half the time because I eat everything in sight and it is costing me a lot of money to buy all the food I eat. But on the other side all of my friends are jealous because I can eat and not gain any weight. Everyone tells me I need to gain wight but I just can't. I've learned to live with it though and take pride of my metabolism and the fact that when everyone else gets to their 40's or 50's I'll still like around 30.

For anyone who feels insecure about their weight or metabolism just remember that you are who you are and no matter what anyone says be proud that you will look young while they look old. And if anyone would just like to talk to someone with a high metabolism like yourself, you can can email me at smileyfacemel@hotmail.com. I would love to try and help :)

Hi I'm Jennifer I weigh 86 lbs and I'm 5'2 I'm 13 and gain no weight if I do it's like 2 pounds then I lose it my friends called me a toothpick I have always had a high metabolism I drink about 3 cups of milk a day so I'm pretty average in the height department and I'm still growing but this high metabolism is affecting me reaching puberty I'm 13 and I'm positive every other girl in my grade has reached puberty my friends always say I'm skin and bones I have no body fat either but I still eat a lot but not jn the mornings or in the afternoons. I have a flat chest and small curves help me but for all those people out there that want to be fat don't it's not a good thing to have time will take it's course this is something that makes you unique even though I'm super skinny I REALLy don't want to be fat . I feel bad when I say how much I weigh because all my friends weigh more than me deep down they want to be like you

hmm yeah apparently i too have been told i will start gaining weight when i reach my 20's, (im 19 and 2 months now), i have been skinny as a stick my whole life pretty much, but i've never heard of losing weight from overnight sleeps and in a couple of days ?. It's weird, i dont lose weight or dont gain weight (im 6'2 and weight 125 ibs), and it's been happening for years.

To the people who lose weight alot, i suggest drinking milk every morning because i know milk has lotsa fat, and well... me, but i dont know about you people, i suggest eating fat foods like Kebabs and Souvlakis and Pizza and Lasagna and stuff like that and also eat a Ultimate Double Whopper from Burger King (Hungry Jacks here in Australia). By the way does Ethnicity have anything to do with being slim ?, because im actually Macedonian and i have heard people say that Macedonian people are mostly thin. And is 125 pounds perfect for a 6 footer like me ?.

I'm nineteen and 96 pounds. I had my daughter seven and a half months ago. Gaining weight was a struggle while pregnant because of my high metabolism. I was 94 pounds when I got pregnant and ended up at 121.5 pounds. It was a relief. I breastfeed and have a high metabolism so eating enough to keep my weight on isn't easy. It's not always lucky to not be able to gain weight.

Megan 2 months ago

Im almost 18 and I just weighed myself and I was only 94lbs. I have always had a fast metabolism but this is the smallest I've been in a while. I'm extremely self conscious and I'm terrified to go to Florida for spring break in fear that I'm going to look like a twig in my bikini in desperate at this point and hate my body

I think that we should ALL join the show Man V.S. Food, because we'd totally win!! No weight gain, the best foods out there and celebration of our love for food. I myself have a semi-high metabolism at 16. I sit around all day and play video games (admittedly), but regardless I love to eat and eat much more than my friends do. I have gained weight in the past few years, but it's slow-going and I still feel thin, but for those of you that want to gain weight, I'd consider not exercising and even sitting down to play video games like me (on the contrary, though, I'm thinking about becoming more active and starting to lose weight, because I'm not as resilient to calories like most of you).

Hannah 2 months ago

I have a super fast metabolism and I eat constantly, but I wasn't always like this. I had been overweight most of my life barely eating any food. Skipping breakfast eating small lunch and then binging at dinner time because I was so hungry. I weighed about 185lbs at max 5'5 tall. Now I weigh 110lbs! I just started eating and the more I ate the hungrier I got. I eat like all day everyday I ate on like 14 different times today. Probably like 4000 calories and I'm still hungry. So for those of you who want to gain weight, go on a diet! Quit eating so much and slow down your metabolism. Eating more food is not going to help you gain weight. In fact you will probably just get skinnier. So eat like 1200 cal a day for a couple days. Then have a day where you eat a ton (binge) then the next day eat like 1200 cal again.

I guarantee you will gain weight.

Good luck!

I am a female who is 4 '11 tall and about 78 pounds. I absolutely LOVE having a high metabolism! I can eat a lot of my favorite foods instead of having to stop eating because I'm full like other people. Usually, I'm always hungry after I'm finished a meal, and I ask other people for food. LOL. Im my case, I consider it a blessing.

I have had high metabolism since I was a child ppl used to accuse my mom of not feeding me properly. My highest weight was 118lbs in which it is now . I am now 47 and 5'11 and eat daily like I'm at a buffet. I have like an endless pit that never gets full. I hate it. I gained 32lbs with a set of twins whom weighed a whopping 5lbs12ozs and 5lbs 12ozs and within 5 days of delivery I lost 36lbs 4lbs more than I gained. I would love to be a healthy weight of 135lbs but I'm guessing that will never happen. It isn't healthy to over eat and be under weight. I would love some suggestions..

I'm a 16 year old female. My height is 5 foot 2 inches, and my metabolism is so high I only weigh 91 pounds. And I have never weighed over 96 pounds in my life!! But it runs in my family, because my mom was 16 when she weighed 90lbs. when she got preggers and when she had the baby only weighed 120 and lost it instantly. Right now my metabolism feels like a curse I get called anorexic all the time, but I eat all the damn time! Like seriously 5 or 6 times a day and don't gain a thing. But my mom is an adult and here metabolism slowed a little after 3 kids and a divorce but my mom is gorgeous especially for being almost 40! And ALL my freakin' guy friends call her hot, and flirt with her!! So, I guess I can look forward to that as an adult. And I'm glad I get to eat whatever the f*** I want without worrying, but I really wish I could gain weight :( any tips?

I have had this since i hit 12, I always used to eat like mental and still do but i look like skin and bone, i never gain weight and it is beginning to worry me.

I also found out that i'm not that attractive and i'm going through my puberty still today (18 Years now), most young men my age would have fully matured by now and have all the necessary 'things' as per say, even my voice still sounds like i'm 12 and when i don't grow my Side-Burns i look 12 years frikin' old!

Im 16, 5'9, and I have, until recently, been able to wear the same clothes for 5 years because your of being under weight. Even though I ate like I was starved everyday, I just couldn't get past 100all lbs. So a friend told me to eat a large amount of peanut butter every day or every other day and now I'm finally 125 pounds. (A pretty much normal weight for a girl my height) So try eating peanut butter ! Hope it helps.

I have just found the conclusion to my weight! But is another downside to this; after you eat a meal, breakfast ect; you feel kinda sick and you need to go to the toilet within like 5 minutes of finished eating. Am I the only one?

I use to I weighed 115-120 but this has just started within the past 3 years the Dr says high metabolism but why would it just start all of a sudden

I am 17, 6' tall and 166 pounds. I no longer have to check my weight, I know how much I weigh saying I have weighed the same for a while now. It may waiver if I have already eaten lunch, I only get heavier if I grow taller. When I was in middle school I weighed 75 pounds. I am constantly hungry!!!! I don't mind eating all the time, but it's when I can not eat that kills me. It hurts that I am hungry. It especially sucks when I have sports, it feels like I am burning thousands of calories a day. I ate breakfast 2 hours ago and I am STARVING!!!

Idk what any of your problems are. You guys are so lucky it's not the other way around. If ya'll really wanna get fat here's a quick way to do it, gulp down a cup of corn syrup everyday and order lotss of frappe and sundae, go crazy with deep fried stuff, eat a bag of keeblers everyday and eat a whole chocolate cake for yourself. Not ghe flourless french shit, I'm tslking aboout the really decadent stuff ad pair it up with churros and doughnuts with whip cream and eat a loot of fruitcake and nuts.

Im 6 ' 3" and weight barely 143 lbs! I eat like a scavenger consuming any food in my path but I can't seem to gain any weight. The only thing that somewhat works is drinking many beers. I gained 10 lbs in a month from beers. Nothing else works.

i am 18 years old and have a very very high metabolism. i love it of course but i am worried that in the future, when i am about 30 years old, will the pounds come all of a sudden and make me fat? does that happen?
