Is There Really Such A Thing As A “Fast metabolism”?

I mean don’t a lot of underweight and skinny people with quote “fast metabolisms” have small appetites and eat fewer calories than they think they do?

One time I heard a skinny girl say she eats “a lot”, and she thought 1,200 a day qualifies as “a lot.”

So don’t skinny/underweight people just have small appetites and eat fewer calories in general, and overweight and obese people generally consume way too many calories? Rather than it having to do a lot with individual metabolism?

I do think metabolism varies between people. My husband eats a tremendous amount compared to what I eat and if his metabolism was like mine, he’d weigh 500 lbs! He eats a large meal and is ready for a snack in a couple of hours and then ready for another meal in another few hours. I can eat the first meal at the same time he does, but eat a lot less, not have a snack between meals, and not be ready for the next meal when he’s basically really hungry and ready to eat… then a snack, then another meal, and the circle is unbroken. I know one thing is certain in my life – he’s always ready to eat at regular meal times!
