But on the flipside that's pretty much all I eat and I'm skinny AF also I usually lose weight when I eat only fastfood like when dominos had a voucher exploit for a whole summer as a kid

Edit: js found out from another comment its probs my anxiety stopping me from gaining weight

    Anxiety might help, but it's probably more likely that you eat "trash" but just not a lot of it. If you count your calories you probably eat a pretty reasonable amount for whatever your weight is. Especially if you're a tall man, you can potentially eat up to like 2500-3000 calories a day without really gaining weight.

    Also a real killer for people is sugary drinks, alcohol, and other liquid calories. I dunno if you drink any, but those add up fast.

    I eat upwards of 4000kcal a day usually less tho tbf and I am fairly tall but not giant. When I say I eat trash I mean proper trash and I binge it alot of the time I'm still technically underweight tho I think. IMO I've noticed I put on ALOT more weight when eating proper whole foods instead of js empty calories or fastfood or whatever and I can't eat as much whole food

    With the "right" metabolism you can eat way more, than what goes as "normal rate", because your body just does not ingress all the calories.

    So that's where those types who eat junk all day, never move and still be skinny come from.
