Answers: I like to eat food. I eat a lot too. At buffets, i eat around an average of twenty pieces of pizza. But i am under weight for my age. i am 15. Why does this happen?

when over weight the body tries to store all the fat it can to be able to feed itself better, but the more fat it puts on the more it thinks it needs to store in order to support the extra weight (this is the real reason why over weight people gain weight like crazy)

when the body is under weight it thinks food and nutrition is not a problem so it won't try to store anything as fat, your metabolism is high to burn off the excess in food and you pass everything else, why store fat when you have all types of foods and nutrition coming your way seemingly without end

by the way, studies show that the heavier a person is the faster their metabolism is also, so metabolism doesn't seem to play the part in weight loss or gain that people credit it for (its more of a storage issue than a metabolism one, how fast of a metabolism do you need in terms of burning off calories anyway when your body is passing all your calories rather than digesting them)

Very high metabolism rate. lol, I do envy you.

Extremely high metabolism. I'm 15, and probably eat as much as you, but I don't really have that high a metabolism. Luckily, I burn off all my fat through 3-4 hours of intensive tennis training daily.

your lucky-- you have a very high metabolism-- wanna trade?
