How do some people never gain weight?

[Ayanna240]

I work a sedentary job just like the rest of my coworkers. for some unknown reason, I just gain weight so quickly. I don’t eat a ton of junk food, but everytime I eat 2 slices of bread , my belly literally blows up and it won’t go away unless I starve myself (skip a meal ) but go workout for half an hour strenuous workout. I take a look at my coworkers and they buy chipotle , McDonald’s , fried foods , kfc, pasta maybe like 3 times a week AND THEY NEVER GET FAT. They are skinny. They never workout either

If I have a ham and cheese sandwich along with a buttered bagel, I will look soo bloated like I gained 8 pounds after the meal. Even if I don’t eat unhealthy , I will still end up looking fat if I don’t workout at least 3 times a week.

Calorie wise, they probably don't eat a lot. And maybe many are more physically active.

Having more lean tissue helps too, as having more lean tissue burns more calories and takes more maintenance to maintain.

they eat a lot calorie wise. pasta, fried foods, chipotle. Even if they do eat little, these foods are very fattening. Combined with the fact that they are so inactive. 90% of them do not workout.

[Ayanna240]

they like to eat out too.

They are usually hard wired to burn a ton of calories throughout the day. A few chipotle orders is nothing for me in a week. It also is effected by how well you’re absorbing the food during digestion. But activity a few times a week is good for the whole body, heart and mind.

if i have chipolte 2x a week , i would look so fat and bloated.

I have the opposite problem. I am so skinny and shapeless. Short, too. I can eat like a horse, then chase the jockey for a desert. I rarely go above 90 to 95 lbs. Mostly hover around the 90 mark.

I guess it is just down to my metabolism being supercharged.

Yeah it's mostly likely to be your metabolism 😅 and hormones

[MrNameless]

how many calories do you eat in a day?

[Jessica405]

@MrNameless About 1500, I guess. Sometimes more. I am not a calorie counter, but I do eat a balanced healthy diet. I take after my mum. She is now only just heavier than me, and is the same height. A short ass! 🤣🤣🤣
