who else hates the "skinny people who can eat whatever they want" myth?

[ellipticalman97]

its always fat lazy people who say it as they want to justify them not exercising themselves. anyone who can actually eat countless calories everyday has a thyroid problem which is very rare. someone might have a slightly higher metabolism by 200-300 calories but thats it. skinny people who you see overeating are compensating by not eating enough when they are alone

[FannySkelper]

only bulimics can really eat whatever they want

[Croog]

Is it really a myth, though?

I've known many people throughout my life, old and young, that can shovel anything into their mouth and not gain weight. I had a friend at school that used to go a store at lunch and buy tubs of ice cream, chips, chocolate etc and he honestly looked anorexic.

[Kurial]

calories in calories out.

at any size if your bf is low then yea you can eat like crap and still look good. I hear dis bs from skinny fats not fat people though

[Scarrdbutsmartr]

One of my wife's friends lived with us for about six months. Her doctor told her she needed to gain weight so he put her on a weight gaining diet. She downed more food than I've seen any guy consume and still was still as skinny as a rail after six months.....Definitely does not have an eating disorder.

[Riadon]

Eat 3,000+ calories a day without gaining weight crew.

If I'm not eating at least 4,000 (more realistically, 4,500) calories consistently, I'm not gaining weight. Srs. No cardio either.

I thought I might have a thyroid issue, as my body works so hard to burn fat that if I so much as stand up, you can feel the heat radiating off of me. I was tested to be fine, though.

It's not a myth, but less common than people make it out to be.

Currently 6'0 180 at around 10% BF ATM, so it has nothing to do with my size.

im eating 4.5-6k sometimes more worth of pretty much chit food everyday and get bloated but my weight stays the same. took like 2.5 years to gain 15-20lbs



def dont have thyroid problem

[PKneyr]

It is true to some extent though.

[Drayg00n]

Well, they can eat whatever they want more than others. That is definitely true.

[IPoopStandingUp]

when im around fat people, i like to eat like a blue whale that just took bong hits, that way they get jealous over my metabolism

[MrRicardoDiaz]

I used to be a scrawny little skinny-fat kind of guy and I just never really ate. Skinny people often feel like they eat way more than they do and this was one thing I had to recognize and get over to successfully start gaining weight. I think when you are "skinny" your mind and body get used to the amount of food you eat (or don't) so that becomes normal, much like a fat person sucking down 4,000 calories a day to just sit at a desk thinks that is normal.

I would agree that it is a myth because once you start consistently eating "what ever you want" or an excessive amount of food all the time like a fat person does, you start gaining weight; of course, if you're super skinny and you have whole little tub of Ben N Jerry's ice cream or a 1lb cheeseburger as a once in a while thing, I don't think it'll make much of a difference, never did for me at all.

It annoys me when I have to listen to fat kunts in the office moan about being fat whilst consuming copious amount of cake and chocolate, and blame it on metabolism.

youre retarded. Negged along with the ******* op

[Synthesizer0]

As a skinny guy i can tell you either said person doesn't eat much except for maybe one or two meals, or they are really active. I doubt it's the latter as i was still able to gain weight back in Track and Field. No excuses...

[LaCosaNostra90]

Its actually true. People metabolize calories at different rates, thats been proven.

[Fozzy13]

of course its true....we've had the got dam internet for liek 20 fkn years....how on earth can people still be so fkn retarded to think its not true?

[EISOBAX]

4k calories a day and the heaviest if been is 200lbs, right now im 194lbs and you don't want to know the work it takes to maintain that weight

[woofermazing]

It's mostly nonsense. Studies show that metabolism varies from person to person, but not by much. Certainly not thousands of calories.
96% of the population is within 16% of the average metabolic rate, 68% are withing 8%.

Everyone has a doctorate in endocrinology though and has accurately diagnosed themselves as having an abnormally high or low metabolism though apparently.

haha yep. I was eating tubs of ice cream and whole pizzas but still losing weight all the way to the eighties. that binge purge life. in the end it's not worth it, it doesn't accomplish anything and it is addicting.

Many legitimate anorexic people do that.. hint not all food is bought with the intent to digest.

Not addictive?
