I have a fast metabolism, and was wondering, does this mean I will never put any weight on? I don't want to get fat but would like my arms and legs to be a bit bigger, you know?

It will slow down. I believe it slows down faster for women though which is why you're 19 and still have a fast metabolism. Or you're just like that. You will put on weight, you just need the right diet. Where people with a slow metabolism might want to avoid too many proteins or carbs (is it proteins? I forget tbh), you may benefit from it.

But it'll probably slow down at some point. I gained a lot of weight between 18 and 19 when before I could eat my weight in food without putting on much.

Its carbs I think, I'm pretty sure protein only puts muscle on.

I have a very very VERY VERY fast metabolism. I weigh 91 pounds which I believe is 6.5 stone. Obviously for my age(15) and height, I am really underweight. But I just can't gain weight and I don't know why. I will say that there is nothing wrong with being s little underweight. I don't have any health problems from being skinny. I'm actually really healthy right now so yeah. If you are worried a talk with your doctor or maybe a nutritionist or something can help! Hope this helps! :)

Thanks! I understand, sometimes my stomach looks a bit bloated after I have ate so much but then after a while it goes away.

That happens to everyone, it's probably just more noticeable because you are thin.
