You have a high metabolism that is the reason why you can eat so much and not gain weight. As you get older your metabolism will slow down and you may start gaining weight from eating too much.

You don't have to be fat to be unhealthy, so make sure if you are eating a lot, you are eating alot of healthy foods. But as for your question, it really depends. Your metabolism will slow as you age, but not everyone is destined to diet or swell as they age... Some people just stay naturally thin. Just be careful- I know it sounds like an eternity from now, but if you don't take care of your heart now you could still hurt it. Even skinny people can get heart disease and stroke... If three meals a day aren't cutting it for you, aim for five small meals (half a sandwich and a few raw veggies, etc). And make sure you are staying active. That will help your metabolism stay strong. Take care!! â¥

It is true that when you get older your metabolism changes and you don't burn calories like you did when you were younger. It's more about what you eat not how much you eat. Think about eating foods your body can use like fresh fruits and veggies, lean meats, whole grains, and dairy. Stay away from empty calories like sodas, chips, and fast food. Also try to stay avtive and physically fit. Take up a sport you enjoy or even dance. If you develop these healthy habits now while you are young and continue them when you get older you should never have a problem with your weight.

because of you're growning up, your body need a lot of nutrient to grown which is why you eat alot but the part where you don't get fat is a different thing. the reason why you don't get fat is because your thyroid is hyper (thyroid located on your neck, it function was to burn fat and cholesterol.) so you don't have to worry much about getting fat.
To your question, No, you will not be fat later on in life, because it does not stay in your body and erupt later in life like cholesterol for example. Fat is just something that happen when you eat alot or you have a hypothyroidism other than that no.
so don't worry about getting fat later in life.

No you will get fat when u eat at the time. Not later , it all depends on your metabolism and how much you excersize i guess. Some people are really thin and later in life they become fat. They are usually the ones everyone looks up to early on in life then they just become alcholics and have heart attacks on the toilet.

You are still growing so don't stop what you are doing. When you reach 22 or 23 you will need to slow down and learn to eat somewhat smaller portions. If you control your portion size and don't eat a lot of junk food, you will stay slim.

I don't know if people have all their fat cells by the time they are 15. If you are eating good food veggies and fruit low fat protein you should be ok. Don't for get the exercise like B-ball,skateboard,swimming and the like.

Your metabolism (your body's way of shedding the calories) naturally slows over time. It doesn't mean it will slow to a point you gain a tremendous amount, and it doesn't matter what you eat now. Just start eating healthy now so you will eat healthy later. It varies from person to person.

Fat does not transfer into the next year lol! Your just active now so it burns off quicker As you get older you will start to slow down and not be as active and that's why you gain more weight as you get older plus after 30 your metabolism slows down.

it does not work like that.......you can't keep all the calories from when your young until your old.........
but if you teach yourself to keep eating tons of food.........most likely you will keep doing this through out your life and once you hit between 19 -22 your metabolism slows down and you will begin to gain weight, and it slows down several more times until your around 35 to 40 and then it is real trouble to get any amount of weight off your body then.
so if your going to eat a lot, make it veggies and good lean meat and fruits...then it is OK...
Good luck
