How is it possible that I eat this and stay thin af?

[CoolCatMar1]

I mean i know that i have a fast metabolism but i still don't understand how it works... But when i do eat this i usually just get pimples rather than get fat... Any other reasons?

P. s some other skinny people eat a lot too and stay thin, not talking just about myself.

It's all about the calories

If you eat less or equal calories than you burn , you would lose fat or at least maintain it

So in my knowledge you can eat anything and still not build up fat if you make sure that you don't eat more calories than what you burn in a day

Lastly, the calories you burn are not only from exercises but your body burns some calories daily itself to maintain /stay alive which is called "Maintenance calories"... which is approximately 15 times your weight in pounds...

So if you are 140 pounds (Sorry for the guess)... you'll burn around 2000 calories even without doing anything

There are people who have succeeded in losing weight by eating McDonald's daily.. by making sure it's below maintenance calories

One more important point is that the calories you intake can come from anything, so even if you eat 1500 calories of Junk Food or 1500 of good food, you won't gain weight if it's below maintenance... but it's always recommended to follow a well balanced diet on most days

Probably just your metabolism. you may have good genes too...

also enjoy it now because when you get older and still eat as much you will get bigger lol. im speaking as a guy who used to be stick thin and now im at 250 lbs :P

[CoolCatMar1]

Well at your age i will eat more healthy foods

[Still-alive]

yes you should definitely

[CoolCatMar1]

Yeahhh

[4ngelic]

you either have an active lifestyle/work out often, you actually dont eat too much in quantity of the bad stuff, you eat junk food often but not everyday, or its really just your metabolism. personally i overreat very often, have lots of chocolate and bad stuff too. thought my metabolism was just amazing but then i did 2 and 2 that i work out for hours everyday and try to compensate the day or days after overreating by restricting a bit my cals, so in the end the scale doesn't really go up

[CoolCatMar1]

Yes i am active i also walk a lot

[collie22]

What ever your doing it's working for you. Your beautiful😊😘

[NathanDavis]

reason one... genetics, you do have a faster metabolism

reason two... you're age, you are young, you're just 19... and that means you're still developing in a few ways and your hormonal, metabolism levels are acting like that

this might change around the time you become 24, 25 or so... or if you ever have babies

reason three... it might be possible that you eat fast food sometimes, but not constantly, not every day... and that you also have other good habits that prevent you from gaining extra weight

in order to gain weight... other factors have to be present as well, a bad diet, a lack of activity, poor sleep and/or some other health issues/genetic composition and even stress or medication can cause for people to gain some extra weight

[YesterdaysChild]

Yeah, I don't get it either. My aunt was like that. She would eat anything she wanted and she always stayed slim. She always said that she had a straight gut. In and out with nothing in between. I'm certain most of us would like to be able to do that too.

[jahaims]

You still are burning roughly the same calories you are intaking. What the food is doesn't matter as far as weight gain goes. 500 calories worth of ice cream and 500 calories of carrots are the same as far as that is concerned. You just won't get proper nutrition with a junk diet.

[CoolCatMar1]

Yes but i eat healthy food at the same time

[Anemone978]

It is fast metabolism.. my sister used to eat so much more than me and never weighed more than 100lbs but I always gained weight easily.. but when she got older her bad eating and thyroid problem caught up with her now she has a weight problem.. and no matter how she tries to work out her eating problems keep her from not being how she used to be..

[jennifer_bloom]

I believe you can burn calories by expending intellectual or emotional energy or by having a high B1 intake. I’ve heard of chess grandmaster champions that go into minor starvation by thinking about chess during competitions and not multiplying their food intake many times over by doing it.

[WindAtMyBack]

When you are young, a lot of people get by with it. But if you keep doing it you'll blow up like a balloon. You will also have a lot of health problems besides weight. Diet is one of the most important things to keep you healthy, and that is a horrible diet. It WILL come back to haunt you. Break that bad habit before it gets much harder to break and ends up killing you. It's a slow suicide.

[AviatorTom]

When I was younger, I could do the same. Eat all kinds of fatty foods and stay slim. As I've gotten older, I can no longer do that. My metabolism is still high, but not as high as many years ago.

Just wait a few years. Your body will let you know when you can no longer eat these foods and stay slim.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

That’s wonderful. Probably your metabolism is pretty good.

If I eat too much for too long, I gain weight.

I also lose weight easily.

But I can’t eat and not gain weight. I wish I could though.

[Unit1]

That's because you are 19 years old, not 29. Your body can handle it for now. But not for too long.

[Sonorous]

Maybe you have high non exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT)?

[CoolCatMar1]

I don't think so haha 😂

[scooogy]

Can be related to the size of your thyroid. A dysfunctional one can lead to tending towards under- or overweight.

[CoolCatMar1]

No no it's fine actually

[DizzyDesii]

Your genetics or metabolism or calorie deficit

[lightbulb27]

young, body is using all the calories can get. don't count on that forever. as well, it's using up reserves of energy to process.

[boggboss]

Good metabolism although as u get older it will slow down I have a friend thats the same

[VictorMachiavelli]

It's partly because of your genetics and partly because you're young. Just be warned - it's harder to keep the weight off while eating this stuff as you get older.

[WhiteSteve]

At my age, I’m liable to gain 5 lbs just by looking at that picture🐷

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I know a lot of young people would be thin AF, and they actually drank milkshakes to gain weight.

[RedInnocent68]

Metabolism and balance. You don’t eat it three times a day like some Americans. I expect you’re also pretty active…

[MikeTheBartender]

You don't live in USA, less chemicals in shit food

[AmeerX]

I do get acne in my head when I eat fast food for too long. And my built is lean unlike my friends. I want a stable weight though.

[Blueeyes81]

I eat whatever I want and eat a lot and have always been skinny. I keep waiting for age to catch up to my metabolism but I don't think it's going to happen.

[Sparkie460]

All that food just makes me feel sick.
Good for you if you can eat it and stay thin. I wish I had your fast metabolism

[KostasKouvalis]

No clue, but I'd like to know your secret as well

[In_Trance]

It's a cumulative effect.
You're fine now, but give it time.

[msc545]

Is your Thyroid ok?

[CoolCatMar1]

Yes i checked it

[Andres77]

Enjoy it. In a few years you might not

[Cubus]

Just fast metabolism. You're blessed

[_lexiesplanet_]

genetics and bodymorphes

[LiamJHayden]

[Jennz6]

[CoolCatMar1]

[Mpodere]

[dolemite58]

[WhitneySnow]
