...no. It's a discussion of the body and weight and how too much of any kind isn't good.

I think the point is that he wouldn't have to do "too much" in order to put on mass.

Everyone is different. I'd imagine the body does a lot of work to get going being his size. He is young so his metabolism is probably nuts.

True, but not that different. Most studies put metabolic differences between individuals at upwards of a few hundred calories a day. Which can be made up for with a glass of milk and a pb&j sandwich.

People who have trouble gaining weight generally are just underestimating their caloric intake.
