fast metabolism
Rapid calorie burning
Fast metabolism describes a body that burns calories quickly, converting food to energy at a higher-than-average rate.
People credit or blame it for staying thin despite eating freely: He can eat whatever he wants—fast metabolism.
The concept is often invoked loosely, sometimes as a convenient explanation for body weight differences that may have other causes.
