There are hundreds of living examples of TL users who can attest to how wrong you are.

Unless by "you" you're referring to the 35yr+ demographic.

nope, pretty much everyone who says they eat a lot and are skinny .. don't actually eat a lot!
trust me if you're snacking on 1300kcal, and your regular meals are more than that, let's say 1500kcal (after all, not a snack, right?), and you eat a bunch of those a day, no, you're not eating 5k+ calories per day and staying thin while sitting on a computer.

oh yeah, inb4 "super fast metabolism"

It's called being 16, the good old days when you had half a loaf for breakfeast, cooked lunch, the rest of the loaf. (Mind you each slice having the ham, cheese, salami, anything you could find in the fridge and a lonley slice of cucumber because you're being healthy(!!) and still wonder when the hell dinner was going to be ready because you were starving. I miss those days, you ate more than most horses do a day and the only thing that happened was that you grew another four inches.

And then the horrors. Early 20's must be the most horrific time in any boys life fuck me one apple and you gain like 42 pounds. OH THE HORRORS.

Except that's not me at all. I was 210 lbs at 14, at about 5 foot 3. So yeah I was pretty stereotypical computer kid who gets really fat. Anyway I'm 5'9 170 now so obviously much improved.

I dunno what happened today lol. Just got really hungry. Ravenous. Probably won't end up eating anything for dinner. See how I feel. :p

Also there is quite the margin between people. There was a documentuary where they got 25 people that were very thing and put them at 750 calories a day over what a normal person needs for 6 months, a surprising ammount of them hadn't gained a single pound after the time was up. Yes most thin people don't eat alot but some of them eat like horses and can't seem to gain weight.

Weight gain or loss boils down to one thing. Calories in vs Calories out. Every 3,500 Calories more you eat than you burn you gain one pound.

People with fast metabolisms might burn 500 more Calories a day than a typical person, maybe in some extreme cases 1k more, but I'd be somewhat skeptical of such a claim. Additionally people that have high metabolisms often results in part from things like muscle mass, activity patterns, eating habits, etc.

In any event even if someone had a metabolism in which they burned 1,000 more Calories per day than the average person they would need somewhere between 3,000 and 3,500 Calories per day. If they are snacking once or twice a day at 1K Calories per day plus normal meals, they will gain weight.
