She probably has a faster metabolism and also since she is younger she is probably a lot more active I guess...maybe it will change for her too as she gets older..

you just have to do what's right for your body.

different metabolisms

you guys are just built differently.

Different genes.

she might have a quicker motabolism. its exactly the same with me. my older sister is much much skinnier than i am, does a lot less excercise than i do, and eats a lot of crap. kind of unfair, but look at other qualities.

different metabolisms

She needs to gain some - because she is taller her base metabolism is higher. You need about 1875 calories a day for a weight of 125.

This is actually pretty normal. She probably has a quicker metabolism than you meaning your sister burns calories quicker. You two may also be built differently.

According to your BMI you are OVERWEIGHT at 25.0

She is UNDERWEIGHT at 17.8

Simple, if you live in the same environment then its the GENES. So then you got the fat genes and she got the skinny ones. Tough luck :-*

EDIT: Oh it's you. Don't call me a 'stupid *** byotch!' like last time either - or you shall be reported. Anyways, it's a bit rich coming from you ain't it: Don't need Einstein to answer this now do we? The only difference is your genes. Duh!
