Thanks for the posts.
Geez, I didnt realize that it was possible to be in a situation like
that, eating small quantities but gaining weight.

calories to fat. Officially I'm supposed to need 3000+ calories/day
(I'm 6'4"😉. In fact, I gain weight if I eat more than 1500 or so.
I have a neighbour who has to stay below 1000 to avoid getting
fat (And by fat, I mean that she was well over 300 lb until she
got a sensible doctor who told her she could either voluntarily
stop eating so much, or he could arrange for an operation to cut
out 80% of her stomach so she wouldn't want/be able to eat so much.
She refused the operation, and is doing the best she can to stop
eating. It's tough!)Yep, everyone has a different metabolism. That is why there are
millions of different and unique bio-chemistry textbooks at
universities. One for each person in the world.TC
