Eating all day

Question
Hi, and thank you for the website. I work in a catering business and I eat all day. I usually only snack, but sometimes I can eat a large meal and be hungry an hour later.However, it seems as though I am always eating something. I also eat near bedtime. However, I do not seem to gain weight. Are there certain body types that can eat all day and not gain weight? Also, if I continue this habit will the weight catch up to me as I get older? Thank you very much. I'm  male, 26, 5'8, 150 lbs.

Answer
Snacking all day is not necessarily bad.  In fact, eating every few hours keeps your metabolism going at a constant level.

But of course, you can't eat brownies, cheeseburgers, and fondue all day either.  Eating the right kinds of foods - vegetables, fruits, whole grain breads, and lean meats - are the key to maintaining a proper weight.  In addition, our metabolism automatically slows down with age.  So eat smaller portions as you grow older and you should be fine.

Thanks for your question, Drew.  I hope that my answer was helpful.
