i see everywhere in my school chruch and everything they get fatter than the boys why is it they got slow motabolism or what?

Answer:

Yes, although i'm not a medical professional, but i have a personal trainer and he tells me that a female's body does not burn as much fat as a male's body would because females tend to have a slower rate of metabolism.

Usually boys would be fatter than girls during their pre-puberty age (9-13) and then during and especially after puberty (14-18) they grow really 'quickly', in terms of Weight, Height as well as body structure.

Therefore, boys do get thinner that way too due to purberty!

Its to protect the children that they carry.

yes. it's because women have a lower metabolism then men, and also a higher bmi and body fat. It's necessary for child-bearing.

they need more cushion for the babies they will be a pushing... nurturing is paramount in women... So they don't need as much muscle that requires calories..

---

We are the child bearers,and I believe our bodies hold on the fat to nourish future babies. The unbalances of hormones play into the weigh gain also. Some women are emotional eaters which can result in fat gain...

It's completely normal. Females naturally have more body fat than males, that's just the way it's supposed to be. The only reason people see something wrong with it, is because the media has brainwashed everyone into thinking girls/women have to be no bigger than a size 4, that is the real problem!

And yes, females naturally they have a slower metabolism than males, because they have less muscle mass.

Take care : )
