To be fully honest - I can relate to this. During my college years, I ate a full-size burger, potato fries, and soda every day for lunch for ~2 years. I never got fat and retained a healthy BMI, never crossing 200lbs despite being a 6'2" male - even though I almost never exercised and spent almost all day sitting working in the Math Lab. I did skip breakfast regularly so maybe that had something to do with it. My family on seeing the portion size (particularly the potato fries - think 3x a McDonalds large fries) thought it must be my brain consuming those calories or something.

- mason55 4y agoWhat did you eat for the rest of the day? Even if that meal was 2k calories, if you walked around campus a bit and ate moderate breakfasts and dinners then it’s not that crazy. It’s hard to get fat from one bad meal a day. What typically gets people is eating their daily needs via meals and then having high calorie snacks on top of that.
- the_only_law 4y agoYeah it took me a while to realize why I could eat huge servings of the worst fatty, carb filled, sugary, etc. foods available and not gain weight. Then I noticed, that despite looking like a large meal, the calories weren't that high.

Which is probably just as well because that wasn't healthy anyway. Dunno where it was all going. I wasn't really getting much bigger or taller for most of that span.
