They have fast metabolisms at that age... sucks for the ones of us who are just getting away from that trend. I think that's part of the reason the "Freshman 15" occurs.

Young people have high metabolisms that allows them to eat a lot of garbage and still stay thin. When I was a kid, I could eat like I had a hollow leg. Now that I'm older, I can eat things I know I shouldn't and the pounds come on like a tidal wave. It's all a part of getting older.

extremely high metabolism.
Me, my sister, and my best friends are like this. We'll eat and eat and eat and never gain a pound. I eat a double cheeseburger and a large fry at McDonalds almost every time I go there and eat it all.
One of my friends eats nearly as much as I do and weighs under 100 lbs. My other friend weighs about 110 and I weigh about 135 (I'm also pretty tall, so that plays into weight.)

usually when your young you have a fast metabolism. But once you hit a certain age it dissipates. After that you gotta watch what you eat. Good thing I'm still young, Lol!

That one cheeseburger is all they'll eat for the entire day. Sorry if I'm generalizing, not all girls are like that...but from what I've seen a lot of slim girls I know skip breakfast AND lunch.

Girls in that range have faster metabolisms because they're young, they're probably also more actively involved with athletics, which increases metabolism. Basically, they just digest food faster, and burn it off in sports. That's my best guess at least.

they eaither have a super fast metabolism due to excercise ... excercising helps increase the speed of your metabolism soo ur digestive system digests food quickly.. the skinny gene might also be passed on through genetics .. her family might all be skinny and she might have inherited the trait..

I guess they're skinny because, they exercise a lot or daily and are used to eating that amount of fast food.
