Metabolisms are always fun to talk about. For those unaware, this is often what is pointed to when people talk about both weight gain and weight loss. However, the Mayo Clinic found that thinner people have slower metabolisms compared to faster ones among bigger people. Size ultimately dictates how fast it is due to how much energy it takes to move around.
When someone is actively using up a lot of energy, their metabolism also has moved so quickly that they need to consistently have food or some energy source tolerable to operate. This is why The Flash often eats a lot. However, both he and Captain America have such high metabolisms, they cannot get drunk nor can normal sedatives work on them. Both have made this known in their comics too.
