History Main / NeverGetsFat

* In ''VideoGame/Persona5'', Ann has an enormous SweetTooth and gorges on high-end deserts after stealing Kamoshida's heart. Despite this, she never has any trouble maintaining her supermodel figure, making her the envy of her modeling rivals. This is partially justified by all of the exercise that comes with fighting Shadows and navigating Palaces and Mementos.
* In ''VideoGame/TouhouProject'' one of the powers granted by the Yin-Yang Orb is the ability to eat sweets without getting fat.

* Subverted in ''Fanfic/AmazingFantasy''. Peter used to be able to eat whatever he wanted and not get fat thanks to his spider-enhanced teenage metabolism. But he develops a gut after reaching his forties and consuming almost nothing but fast food due to a lack of funds. Played straight with the Melissa Shields of Earth-2018.65, who happily indulges on donuts for breakfast, knowing that her active lifestyle as a Hero and her metabolism will more than make up for it.

* Zig-Zagged in ''Manga/OnePiece'' on account of Luffy's eating habits. Luffy so much food like there's no tomorrow pretty much all the time. He does get fat, but only in a short amount of time. Whenever does he gets fat, he always get back to skinny in no time. Probably justified since he's a RubberMan.

** Lord Beerus, the DestoryerDeity of Universe 7, eats just as much as Goku and Vegeta but still keeps his skinny figure every time he appears.

* Franchise/ScoobyDoo has Shaggy and Scooby eat huge amounts of food in one sitting, but they remain pretty trim. [[JustifiedTrope Jusitifed when one recalls]] they are very often running away from danger and the speeds that Shaggy can go through can rival ''Olympian atheletes.'' The original cartoon even noted Shaggy was in track and a gymnist. Little wonder he goes through so much food with Scooby if they're burning it through regular amounts of panic-induced exercise

* Momo Yaoyorozu of ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' has the ability to make just about anything out of her body fat, so whatever weight she puts on through eating is quickly turned into various items she uses while being a superhero in training.

* ''Franchise/DragonBall'': Goku and Vegeta are {{Big Eater}}s but they still keep their muscular physique every time they are on screen or page. This might apply to the entire Saiyan race.

->''Lelouch''': "How is it you manage not to get fat, if all you ever eat is pizza? I never see you do anything more strenuous than walk across campus, and you only do that to annoy me between classes."

* Jughead from the ''ComicBook/{{Archie}}'' series eats staggering amounts of food that should make him fat, but he is always portrayed as very thin.

* Shaggy Rogers and his dog, Franchise/ScoobyDoo, are always seen eating so much food, but still keep their skinny figures.

A common {{justifi|edTrope}}cation would be that such characters are always active (like running every day, fighting bad guys that always cause trouble, or carrying heavy objects everywhere they go), [[CastFromCalories they use magic]], they were born with have a high level of metabolism, or the food they eat is healthy.

** Natsu is only seen getting a big belly in a short time after eating a lot with Happy. After that, he gets his muscles and abs back.

* In ''Manga/OnePiece'', Luffy eats and eats and ''eats'' like no tomorrow pretty much all the time. Whenever he gets fat, he always get back to skinny in no time. Probably justified since he's a RubberMan.

* Belkan style mages in ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' burn calories quickly due to the physically intensive nature of their magic. Subaru in particular eats more than five full-grown men, but maintains an athletic figure. This is an early hint that her body consumes a ''lot'' of energy, especially during physical exercise, [[spoiler:because she is actually a cyborg and has to power all those electronic circuits with her metabolism]].

* In ''Manga/FairyTail'', Minerva Orland is a very slender woman capable of besting her guildmates in eating contests--this includes dragonslayers, famed for near-bottomless appetites and magic revolving around eating. This BigEater might be a Big Cheater though, since she has spatial magic she is capable of employing as a pocket dimension.

* People with high metabolism tend to have this benefit, though with the catch that their body burns energy with food faster than regular people, thus people with high metabolism tend to (and in some cases need to) eat much more often.

A common {{Justifi|edTrope}}cation would be that the character is always active (like running everyday, fighting bad guys that always cause trouble, or carrying heavy objects everywhere he/she goes), [[CastFromCalories they use magic]], they were born with have a high level of metabolism, or the food they eat is healthy.

This Often happens to a BigEater. Compare HyperactiveMetabolism, where a video game character regains hp/stamina through eating, usually with no weight related consequences.

* ''Series/GilmoreGirls'': Lorelai (in her early thirties) and her teenage daughter Rory are famous in their small QuirkyTown Stars Hollow for eating large quantities of food, often rich food like fries, pizza, doughnuts, muffins etc. and drinking absurd amount of coffee. They never cook at home and have aversions to fruit and vegetables. They never exercise and hate doing sports (Rory is shown being thrown off balance when she has to choose a sport at her preppy high school; Lorelai says she wanted to join a gym after having a baby to get fit, but she never went there because she was not fit enough to show up there; and they spend one episode, partly set in the gym, drinking juice or lurking around). Yet they are both slim and they never put on weight.

* Common in video games featuring food, when you're in control of what the player character does, have access to food, and the concept of getting fat was simply never programmed.

* Subverted in MetalSlug 2 and onward: eating enough dropped food items will make the player character(s) fat. This slows them down a bit, but also strengthens their firepower.

** This is parodied in the spin-off comedy series ''WebAnimation/RWBYChibi''. Nora is shown eating entire meals in one bite and getting fat immediately afterwards, usually only to return to her usual shape not long afterwards after letting out a burp. One short had Yang needin* to workout to stay in shape, only for her to become [[RedEyesTakeWarning angered]] when she sees Nora regain her usual shape so easily.

* Shaggy Rogers and his dog Scooby Doo from the ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' franchise are always seen eating so much food, but still keeps their skinny figures.

* Spoofed in an "Earth X" comic featuring a very fat and balding Comicbook/{{Wolverine}} who married Comicbook/JeanGrey (also immensely overweight). As the couple snark with each other Logan insists that his HealingFactor prevents him from getting fat (despite the ample evidence to the contrary).

--> '''Alex:''' ''Gives Kara the potsticker'' I hope you get fat.

Whenever a character eats too much food, no matter how much or how unhealthy, this person just won't gain a huge gut or end up in a mobile chair. Maybe they will but only in a few seconds of screen time they have before fighting bad guys or doing neat moves like back flips all the time.

A common {{Justifi|edTrope}}cation would be that the character is always active (like running everyday, fighting bad guys that always cause trouble, or carrying heavy objects everywhere he/she goes), they use magic, they were born with have a high level of metabolism, or the food they eat is revealed to be healthy.

Often happens to a BigEater.

* ''WebAnimation//{{RWBY}}'': Nora [[BigEater eats copious amounts of food routinely]], to the point other characters realize they need to get to a prepared meal quick if they want there to be any left. Despite this, Nora remains as slender as the other girls.

* Belkan mages in ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' tend to be {{Big Eater}}s by nature due to their fighting style being [[CastFromCalories far more calorie intensive]] than their Mid-Childan counterparts but remain just as skinny. This is especially noticeable with the Nakajima sisters, due to [[spoiler:their bodies constantly converting mana into electricity to power all of their cyborg upgrades.]]
* Subaru from ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'' eats more than five full-grown men, but maintains an athletic figure. This is an early hint that her body consumes a ''lot'' of energy, especially during physical exercise, [[spoiler:because she is actually a cyborg and has to power all those electronic circuits with her metabolism]].
