I am a 17 years old guy and I think I may have a slow metabolism therefore I am wondering what are the exact indications of a slow metabolism?
I have had a blood test, this was the result:

Thyroid Function
TSH 3.28 (0.30 - 5.50) mU/L

personally i have a very fast metabolism and i can eat like a horse, not exercise, and still stay fit. so having a slow metabolism is pretty much the opposite... you have to constantly watch what you eat or you put on excess pounds, and you have to exercise frequently to stay fit.

Only a small number of people truly have a slow metabolism ? which means they burn fewer calories at rest than they should according to estimates based on their height, weight, age and sex. In fact, people who are overweight usually have an increased metabolic rate because they have more muscle as well as fat.
