I don't know where else to post this so I'll do it here. I guess I don't really have any eating disorder (that I know of), but my metabolism is like super high. I eat alot but I'm super skinny.

So I just want to ask.... How many calories do you guys eat a day? And how much do you weight?

I used to be too skinny too. My metabolism is ridiculous and so even if I eat a ton I don't gain weight. I looked like I was anorexic or something (thin hair and really bony-looking) but I filled out last year. The good thing about this problem is that once your hormones balance out it kind of fixes itself. Until then exercise and eat a lot to keep up muscle mass and weight.

I eat about 2500 calories/day and I weigh 115 pounds.

I have the same, ... I can continue eating snacks and cookies the whole day without gaining weight, it's weird but actually it's something a lot of others envy you for ( i don't know this is the right way to say it?). I like it, but I'm also skinny :)

I eat less than 2000 and im skinny. Maybe its genetics and although your parents might not be super skinny maybe their parents or their parents parents and hey be grateful. Some people would go to extremes to be skinny. Thats why theirs anorexia.

I EAT ALL DAY! A lot of what I eat is junk food, but I'm trying to improve my eating habits. But I am still extremely skinny. I am kind of uncomfortable around other people (at like pools or in the locker room) because I am so skinny. People always ask if I am anorexic, but I'm not. I think that's what happened to my dad though, and he eventually evened out. I still hate doing exercises on the gym floor because it hurts!

I'm not really a great example but.... I used to eat loads (like probabaly about 2000 calories a day?) and was 108lb. I stopped eating (between 500-800 a day) and got down to 96lb. That's apparently "too skinny". I'm 5"4 btw.
Although for you, since it's all natural it could be genetics. As long as you're eating healthily and a decent amount I see no problem with it.
