Yeah, this. They did a study where they actually controlled the diets of 'hard gainers' and they got fat just like everyone else when put on a forced diet of 5,000 cal/day.

The reason they were hard gainers is because they have no appetite and ate very little on average unless forced to, not their metabolisms.

Though, some people in the study got physically sick when attempting to eat that much, and didn't gain any weight anyway because of what they threw up (lol).
