Its a odd situation honestly, I have people in my family who have a sick metabolism and then others who have a terrible one (me, haha). My cousin for example can eat 3500 calories in a day and doesnt move around a ton yet he weighs like 140 pounds at age 2X, while me on the other hand, I eat everything healthy and do lose weight but I cant stuff my face with french fries and hamburgers like he does. Odd thing is, I have like 1/3 more muscle mass then him so technically my metabolism should be higher, but somehow his puts mine to shame.
The thing is, everyone wants a fast metabolism but then, can you afford it? My cousin cant afford shit because hes always hungry and has to spend massive money buying food, so its a double edged sword I guess.
Personally though, there is something at work more then just metabolism because I can name quite a few people who should have a metabolism of about 2000 yet theirs is in the 3000 - 3500 calorie burning range.
