My DH needs at least 5,000 calories a day or he loses weight rapidly. When he works out and is working (very physical job) he needs as much as 8,000 and still doesn't gain weight.

Holy cannoli... I know I must have been eating nearly as much when I weighed almost 300 pounds, but sheez that seems like so much food! Does he eat high-cal food, or just a lot of volume?

I know I didn't anyway... I tracked my calories when I was over 300 before I changed my habits again and the highest, naughtiest, beer drinkin' holiday food eatin' day didn't even reach 4000. Damn metabolism! The "math" part of it just doesn't add up!!! I shouldn't have gained as I did.
