me and echo are probably the best example of how much genetics and metabolism and body shenanigans affect your weight and that it's not just diet and exercise we both eat just about the same things, I often eat 1.5x her portion, we both have desk jobs, and yet our sizes differ - ThreadSky

METABOLISM REIGNS!!

My roommate eats fairly large meals, sometimes getting what I would consider two meals' worth, but he's perpetually very thin.

Just being phenotypically male or female is alone a factor. 60% of a man's weight is water vs 50% in women, because women have a higher proportion of fat.

Talking cis here. I'm not aware how these numbers work in other scenarios

Yeah, I haven't been able to gain weight when I TRY. It always feels wild that I have friends that complain they'll gain weight from just ~looking~ at a burger. X3

Diverse bodies is a good thing. Physical diversity in body shape should be embraced and supported.
There is no wrong way to look human.
Big or small, we're all awesome.
There is no need to fix how we naturally look whenever we are happy with our looks.
Your both valid.

You are what I would be in my middle school. Metabolism never slowed down and I'm a little bit envious about it

An interesting assessment I have come across recently is that hormone levels can also drastically affect weight regulation. But if you are cis gender you don't typically have your hormones check because "why would we need to do that?"

I have a room mate who objectively eats worse than I do and he barely works out, I have dieted and been working out for several years to lose weight. He’s 98 lbs and I’m 210. We are complete opposites on the bmi scale.
Both are a legit weight issue but it took me so much effort to get down from 280.

Yeah, there's definitely individual variations in specific relation between calory intake and exercise intensity to equilibrium weight

Just makes it more difficult to find for yourself the point where you'll have a surplus or a deficit

Remember trying to lose weight and I would consistently either be PLUMMETING in weight (a little over a kilo a week) or I'd be gaining weight. No inbetween.

i eat 3000+ calories a day and i'm still forever a twig, metabolism really does make a huge difference
