I have abs and i dont work out ever. I have been the same weight within 2 or 3 pounds since high school. IM 32 now.

I have the definitive efficient metabolism! Science should study me! I'm quite active physically, and have a good deal of muscle with 18" arms, and about a 50" chest (I don't look like a vegan)! I weigh about 100 pounds more than my mom, sister, or most girlfriends, yet I eat about the same amount of food as them (well balanced vegan diet)! Talk about getting some mpg! Great if I were foraging in the woods for food. Not so great in modern society, and with my being a great cook! If I didn't do a few hours of cardio a week, and weights (as I'm sure you know, extra pounds of muscle burn a good deal of energy), I hate to think of what would happen!
I have actually done caloric computations, and according to science, I am taking in a fair amount less than I need to break even(700 calories a day less the last time I checked), yet somehow my weight remains stable!
So far, I haven't found a good explanation from books, professors, or doctors other than super efficient absorption / digestion ability. Yes, thyroid activity is normal.
How is your metabolism, CT?

Very low, i just smell food and gain 2 pounds
by schmee2369 on August 23rd, 2009
High.
But then again I dont intake alot of sugar, no fake sugar like aspertame...I minimize anything that has preservatives, hormones, or antibiotics. I try and get 100% daily value of everything, and I excersize.
I can eat and eat and eat and eat...I have alittle alittle chub but I like it. And If I wanted to indulge on cake and icecream and cookies and pizza and all the bad fatty stuff...I can and not worry about it.
Its all about eating right and using the calories and carbs you intake so your not holding onto them.

Average but I can usually jump start it into another gear if I spend a couple days in the Gym.

your metabolism can be set by choice, if you eat wrong or starve you slow down the metabolism, like wise if you eat regularly and eat clean, your metabolism will speed up. Exercise also has a bearing on the metabolism in the same manner.

My metabolism is neither high nor low. I would put it as average.
by Ditto on August 24th, 2009
Pretty low nowadays I think but it used to be very high when I was younger.
by Jane on August 24th, 2009
I think it must be in the middle.
I diet and work out and I'm thin.
If i don't do that, I'll gain weight and be like 135 pounds.
by shrinkess on August 24th, 2009
Low.
by Anon on August 23rd, 2009
I'm not sure how it goes with high or low. I'm generally described as having a fast metabolism though.
by Rollie on August 23rd, 2009
Getting older has slowed my down a bit. In my teens I could eat and eat and never gain.
by xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on August 23rd, 2009

Diabetis has screwed up the metabolism rates.
Now it is the pills that decide my metabolism.
by Sid on August 23rd, 2009
I had a fast metabolism until I hit my thirties, when it slowed right down....
by Pecks bad boy on August 23rd, 2009
I have a very fast metabolism because of the amount of activity I do. +5
by AlexaMichelle on March 8th, 2011
High. I'm 5'6 and weigh 94. I run cross country and eat a lot.
If I dont eat breakfast in the morning, does that slow down my metabolism, even if I am not at all hungry?

Do you know you can put weight on by not eating enough or not eating the right amounts of things?
