Many people have different metabolism (some people could possibly get fat easily, some can't). Also you have to consider the factor of day to day activities such as running.

Different levels of metabolism (rate of which processes happening in your body) I believe there are genetic influences on that.
Or maybe your math just sucks and your cousin is actually eating a lot less than he claims and he probably does more exercise than you.

That's 'cause your cousin has a higher metabolism than you do. Your metabolism is lower, so that explains why he doesn't gain weight, and you do.

Your cousin has a fast metabolism..and for you, eating more than 2000 cal and get fat? honestly i cant believe that because our body need around 2500 calories a day,especially for teenager like yourself...if you eat 1800 calories and below a day its considered under eating
Source(s): i know everyone is different..and i myself (20 y/o female) dont gain weight even though i eat almost all the time...and believe me, having a stick skinny body is not an enjoyable thing.. - Doug FreyburgerLv 76 years ago
Very many 14 years olds have metabolisms so fast they can not gain fat.

He probably has a faster metabolism ( I would kill for a faster one) I keep myself thin thru lots of exercise and I try and eat as healthy as I can
