Do you do any sports? I’m the same. Can eat as much as and whatever I want, while always staying under 60kg (I’m 176cm).
Counter intuitively, I am healthier and have more energy since I started doing endurance sports (cycling). My weight got down to 48kg at one point before I started exercising, but I’m consistently around 57-58kg now. It increased my appetite and I eat even more now, but I feel infinitely better. Plus I have the perfect body for endurance. I’m not strong, but I can keep going for very long time and being light means I’m really good at going uphill.
Nah no sports. Haven’t even got the energy to clean my apartment. I go for walks every now and then but no sports.
I did have similar/same issues even when I was in the army, (not the American one, Finnish, conscription, served a year) and nah, being active all the time didn’t make me less tired. I manage to get myself in a position where I had my own office and could just sleep a few hours more than the other guys. And we ate 4-5 times a day and couldn’t skip meals most times, so I actually did end up gaining weight as I suffered more from constipation back then than diarrhea like now. But during basic training I’d have a lot of sick-days. To the point our captain asked me whether I was sure I could make it in the “pre-officer training” or however I’d translate the training enlisted ranks (sergeants of different sorts) course. We call it “under-officer school” more or less. But anyway I thought they’d figure out my issues and I’d have less sick-days. But I didn’t. But during basic I would fall asleep at any point. 5-min break for smokes?That’s a nap.
I did have loads of endurance as well to be honest. Man were the officers of my age (so the guys who were in basic with me but later became officers and thought themselves tough shit) shocked when they couldn’t keep up with 90+ kg me in a Cooper test (running distance for 12min.) To be fair I kinda shocked myself by running 3k.
But yeah after the army I discovered that anything spicy at least keeps me from getting constipated. But it doesn’t directly cause diarrhea for me, I’m like 98% certain. Gluten and milk protein seem to be the worst offenders currently and am considering that it’s NCGS (Non-coeliac gluten sensitivity) but if I’d read someone saying that a few years ago, I wouldn’t believe them. I think they’re just imagining it or at least exacerbating it. I’d think I’d sound like a middle-age crystal Karen. But nah, it’s also an actual thing recognised by actual doctors and the literature.
But because I had no damage to the intestines when they checked it, they are fairly certain I don’t have coeliacs. As I think am I (I would’ve been in far worse condition). But because of this somewhat milder form of some sort of gastric and metabolic issues, the public doctors can’t be arsed.
