Why am I so skinny if I eat lots?!

Yes, you do. You probably have good genetics.

However, with age, your metabolism will slow down.

Make sure you aren't eating more than 1500-1800 calories a day, or you could end up putting on
20-40 lbs, by the time you're 30.

I also am in the same boat as you, but I'm trying to cut out the snacks, because I know it will catch up to me in the future.

Vegetarian

Yes, that's exactly what that means. There's also the slight possiblity of a foreign parasite absorbing nutrients, but that's unlikely. I have the same problem as you. I eat so much and I never put on any wieht. If your goal is to gain weight, you can only do that with a high carbohydrate, high protien diet. However, only do this if you're going to workout and hit the gym. If you don't push wieghts while eating this enormous amount of calories, you will be at contention for type 2 diabetes. I don't think you want that. You will gain weight later in your life because your metabolism willl eventually slow down with age.

its most likely your fast metabolism.
depends on how much you eat too. are only eating little bits every hour or are you eating huge meals every hour?
depends on how much you exercise too. if you exercise alot, then it might be what's balancing you out, if you don't exercise alot, then it might be your metabolism.

i have heard though that it will catch up with you once you get older. like more like on 30s age or something. but that's what i heard.

Yes, but it might also depend on what you're eating. Vegetables don't contain a lot of calories, but because of the cellulose they make you feel full quickly. So if you're eating only vegetables, you might just not be getting enough calories an need to eat more often.

I could mean that, but it could be stress too, I had that problem back in college, due to stress, but you should definitely see a doctor to get a confirmation, that's what I did, because it could be something serious too.

You are one of the lucky people that have high metabolisms.

That is exactly what it means.
