metabolism
I have a BMI of 21.1. and am 25/f . I just recently started paying attention to my calorie intake, and I figure on most days I eat about 4000 calories, sometimes 2000-3000. of course there are days I eat more or less, but basically I eat more than the recommended daily value. I am not extremely active, I would say moderately active. my main source of exercise is walking and cleaning my house, which I don't even walk all that often. I was wondering if my metabolism is extremely high? I do gain a few pounds here and there, but that is when I eat 4000 calories a day for weeks straight, and that means some of the calories are icecream, and other junk food. Is my metabolism abnormally high, and will it slow down with age?

You might just have a high metabolism, but you aren't really eating huge amounts... and it will likely just slow down with age.
Mine slowed down a bit at 16, I noticed I couldn't eat quite as much icecream as I once could (There was a time when I had a huge bowl each day). Now, at 23, I think mine is taking a dip agian and I actually have to pay attenion to what I put in my mouth.
It might never happen to you, but it's always good to be aware of what you are consuming, so don't become obsessed or worried about it, just pay attention.
