Sorry, but it's pretty unlikely this is true. The biggest TDEE difference seen in studies is about a 300 calorie difference for people of the same weight (so not enough to have 150lbs people recklessly eating thousands of calories and not gaining weight). It's very likely you have members of your family who don't eat a lot day to day and eat a ton at family gatherings etc.
If I'm wrong here I have a lot of scientists who would like to examine your family.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoI'm one of those people. Ate like a horse; constantly hungry for decades growing up. Bring on the scientists!
- wdewind 11y agoGrowing up is a pretty metabolically stressful activity. It's not uncommon to be able to eat huge amounts and not get fat while you are growing. There are certainly fully matured people who can eat more than other fully matured people who are the same size and weight, but the amount they can eat more is like a cookie a day maybe.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoObesity in America is a youth problem today. Can't argue that away with level of activity or environment, not with such dramatically different outcomes. But anyway, beating a dead horse.
