how do you know if you have a fast metabolism? it seems that i can eat whatever i want....in any amount....and not gain weight. it is really frustrating because im underweight and it's hard to gain some. as soon as i finish eating a big meal like dinner it seems like the food goes RIGHT through me and i have to run to the bathroom. what are signs of a fast metabolism?

Sounds like you do have a fast metabolism if you have trouble gaining weight despite eating a lot.
There are ways to measure your basal metabolic rate if you want specifics. They did it for me at 24 Hour Fitness with this thing called a Body Gem I think it is called. You blow into it for like 5-10 minutes on an empty stomach and it tells you how many calories you'd burn if you just stayed in bed all day.
Although if you are running to the bathroom right after eating then you could have a digestion problem that is causing you to not digest your food properly and THAT is causing you to not gain weight. You might want to consider going to the doctor if you have any other symptoms.

If your food runs through you without processing you could have Irritable bowel syndrome, a fast metabolism would not cause you to run to the bathroom real quick. if it continues I would go see a Dr.
