Our ancestors ate a lot less than they we do today. Which is why many humans have slow metabolisms today. Slow metabolisms helped our ancestors survive back then and not die of starvation because food was scarce. But today it works against people.
Evolution is the reason why some people have slower base metabolisms than others. Those who have slower base metabolisms carry some of the genes of our ancestors from long ago that needed those low base metabolisms to survive given that food was far more scarce then. It's only recently that food has become abundant.
