It can’t all be calories in/out

How do some people stay skinny?

Is it really genetics or a metabolism?

My Roomate eats junk food all day everyday yet he can’t seem to gain a pound

I’m good with my diet but I do go up and down and watch what calories I consume.

I get the calories in vs out but how is it someone can eat junk/ pizza take out soda chips candy daily and still be a string bean

    ofc above link is CICO for healthy people, hyperthyroidism, or hypothyroidism affect gains - lose weight situation too.

    By about 5%.

    And *only* if the thyroid condition isn't treated adequately.

    So having treated hypothyroidism wont affect weight loss any different than any one else?
