currently I’m on a weight loss journey meanwhile most of my highschool class are as skinny as they were senior year (some have blown up like balloons as well) I’m 26 now and I’ve seen classmates and they’re identical to when they were 17-18 years old. Is being “naturally skinny” actually a thing? As in do some people just naturally only consume 1,500 calories per day unconsciously? I know they aren’t working out

    Yep. I generally eat when I’m hungry and have always been underweight. I’m 5’11" and was 130 around age 20. I’m 150 now so still lanky but not skeletal. I think the fact that I’m accustomed to smaller meals helps. I find it genuinely difficult to eat more than 700 calories in one sitting unless it’s something calorie dense like fast food.
