Answers:
There is a way you can tell, actually!. If your parents and other family members are inclined to be overweight, then you will always need to be careful of the food you eat!. My husband, bless his skinny little heart, never has to watch what he eats!. He is the same size now that he was when we got married nearly 30 years ago!.

I, on the other hand, gained lots and lots of weight when I had my babies, and had to lose 90 pounds 2 years ago!.

Now I am very careful about what I eat, veggies, lean protein, whole grains, fruits and skim milk!.

My advice is to learn to eat healthy before you have to!. Even my skinny (muscular) husband needs to eat healthier as his triglyceride levels are always too high!.!.!.he eats too much fat (butter, red meat!.!.!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com

You are still growing, and therefore need to eat more to increase the food intake to keep up with it!. Your body makes you feel like you need to eat more in order to have enough energy to grow!.

When you get older, your body will not need the extra energy to grow, only the energy to sustain itself!. You will not feel like you need to eat as much as you do now!. However, if you do continue to eat a substantial amount after your body keeps growing, yes you will gain weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is no way that I can tell!. I have known people that were skinny as a rail in their teens and bloomed out to be heifers in their thirties and even twenties!. Then again I have known skinny teens that stayed skinny throughout their life!. Most people put on weight in their twenties when their metabolism slows down and cannot remain as skinny as they were in their teens!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm not sure, if you eat alot and don't exevcise at all when you're older then you'll gain weight, the older you are the slower you're metabolism is, I think, anyway you're like me, i eat anything I want and fon't gain weight!.
I'm 14 btwWww@Answer-Health@Com

We all have a high metabolism when we're young!.

You're eating a lot of carbohydrates!. You should start thinking of switching over to more fiber and protein such as vegetables, beans and rice!. They'll give you more energy and won't make you fat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
