Do I have a disorder that makes me super skinny?

I have been REALLY skinny all my life. People constantly think im anorexic but I swear im not. I eat more than my brother & sister COMBINED & both are bigger than me by far. Is there something wrong with me? Do I have some sort of disorder?

Answer #1

Double-check with your Dr, but different people have different metabolic rates - it’s probably not something to be overly concerned about..Good luck !!

Metabolism: the sum of the chemical reactions that take place within each cell of a living organism and that provide energy for vital processes and for synthesizing new organic material.

Answer #2

You probably have nothing wrong with you. Some people naturally put weight on easily while others stay skinny no mater what they eat.

If you are worried you can get a checkup just to be safe. Sometimes it is worth it to see a doctor just for peace of mind. I did have a friend in high school who did have a metabolic disorder that caused him to be very skinny. In his case there were other symptoms as well.
